Florida newspaper opposes Matt Gaetz's attorney general nomination over serious allegations

Matt Gaetz's nomination for attorney general has faced strong opposition from his hometown newspaper, the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The editorial board urged the Senate to block his confirmation, citing his calls to defund federal law enforcement and ongoing investigations into serious allegations against him. President-elect Donald Trump announced Gaetz's nomination, claiming he would address corruption at the Justice Department. This decision has sparked controversy, especially given Gaetz's history of being investigated for sexual misconduct and other serious charges. In related news, President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles against Russian targets. This decision comes amid escalating tensions as Russia deploys North Korean troops to the front lines in Ukraine.
