Matt Gaetz announces he will not return to Congress after withdrawing from attorney general consideration

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz announced he will not return to Congress after withdrawing his name from consideration for attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump. This decision follows ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct. Gaetz, a Florida Republican, stated he has other personal goals to pursue with his family. His withdrawal from the Cabinet nomination process came amid concerns about his ability to be confirmed. Trump has since nominated Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, for the position. Gaetz, who recently won reelection, confirmed he will not take office for another term starting January 3.
