Matt Gaetz announces he will not return to Congress after resignation

Matt Gaetz, a former U.S. Representative from Florida, announced he will not return to Congress in January after resigning and withdrawing from consideration for U.S. attorney general. He cited distractions from his nomination as the reason for his decision. Despite winning reelection earlier this month, Gaetz stated he wants to pursue other goals with his family. He emphasized his commitment to supporting Donald Trump but confirmed he will not join the upcoming Congress. Gaetz's resignation comes as the House Ethics Committee continues to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use against him. The committee plans to reconvene on December 5 to discuss the matter further.
