Matt Gaetz announces he will not return to Congress after withdrawing from attorney general consideration
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 against him. Gaetz, a Florida Republican, stated he has other personal goals to pursue with his family. His withdrawal from the attorney general nomination came amid concerns about his ability to be confirmed. Trump has since nominated Pam Bondi for the position. Gaetz, who recently won reelection, surprised many by resigning from Congress and confirmed he will not serve another term.
