Florida newspaper critiques Trump's choice of Matt Gaetz as attorney general

Florida's Sun Sentinel newspaper criticized President-elect Donald Trump's choice of former Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general. The editorial described Gaetz as a controversial figure and expressed concern over Trump's intentions for the Justice Department. The editorial board argued that Gaetz's appointment would undermine the integrity of national law enforcement. They noted that Gaetz faced past allegations, but no charges were filed after investigations concluded last year. A debate is ongoing regarding the release of a report from the House Ethics Committee about Gaetz's alleged misconduct. House Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested keeping the report private now that Gaetz has resigned from Congress.
