Gaetz withdraws from consideration for Attorney General under Trump

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for Attorney General under President-elect Donald Trump. This decision follows scrutiny over a federal sex trafficking investigation that raised concerns about his confirmation prospects. Gaetz's withdrawal comes after a meeting with senators aimed at securing their support. He stated that his confirmation was becoming a distraction for the Trump administration. The investigation involves allegations that Gaetz paid for sex, including claims related to a minor. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and previously stated that the investigation concluded without federal charges against him.
