Matt Gaetz addresses Senate support for attorney general nomination amid ethics scrutiny

Matt Gaetz, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for U.S. attorney general, is facing scrutiny due to an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation. He has met with GOP senators to discuss his confirmation, claiming positive feedback and support. Despite the controversy, Gaetz has focused on reforming the Department of Justice. He stated he has not closely followed the ethics report, which remains unreleased after his resignation from Congress. Some senators are calling for the report's release before any confirmation vote. Republican control of the Senate begins in January, and GOP Senator Tommy Tuberville indicated plans to expedite Gaetz's confirmation. However, the outcome remains uncertain as some senators express concerns over the ethics investigation.
