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 increasing allegations of sexual misconduct and federal investigations. Gaetz's nomination had surprised many in the Justice Department, reflecting Trump's aim to appoint loyalists. After Gaetz stepped aside, Trump nominated Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney-general, for the position. Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress, stated he has other personal goals to pursue. He emphasized that he believes eight years in Congress is sufficient.
