J.D. Vance lobbies for Matt Gaetz's attorney general nomination amid misconduct allegations

Vice President-elect J.D. Vance is lobbying senators to support Matt Gaetz's nomination as attorney general amid serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Vance's efforts come as the House Ethics Committee prepares to discuss a report on Gaetz's alleged conduct. Senate Democrats have requested the FBI's evidence related to Gaetz, citing concerns about his fitness for the role. Gaetz has denied the allegations, calling them false and politically motivated. Vance is also set to meet with other nominees facing scrutiny, including Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense, who has faced allegations of sexual assault. Trump continues to finalize his cabinet, recently nominating Linda McMahon for secretary of education.
