Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) expressed support for Donald Trump's nominee, Matt Gaetz, for attorney general, despite Gaetz's lack of law enforcement experience and ongoing investigations into serious allegations. Graham emphasized a fair confirmation process. The House Ethics Committee is set to vote on releasing findings related to Gaetz's alleged misconduct. Graham stated that these allegations would not affect his decision, citing a lack of charges from previous investigations.

He called for a traditional process that allows nominees to present their case for confirmation.
