Former Rep. Matt Gaetz announced he will not return to Congress after withdrawing his nomination for attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump. He cited personal goals and family plans as reasons for his decision. Gaetz stepped aside amid ongoing federal and House Ethics investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct. He has denied these allegations. Trump has since nominated Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, for the position. Gaetz, who recently won reelection, stated he believes his time in Congress is complete after eight years.
