Former Congressman Charlie Dent stated that Rep. Matt Gaetz's unpopularity among Republicans and findings from the House Ethics Committee have likely ended his chances of being confirmed as Donald Trump's attorney general. Dent, who once chaired the House Ethics Committee, noted that serious charges against Gaetz could lead to a criminal referral to the Justice Department. He emphasized that many Republican senators oppose Gaetz's nomination. Dent believes Gaetz's nomination is "dead in the water" and may be withdrawn soon. He highlighted the lack of support from key Republican senators, indicating widespread disapproval within the party.
