Matt Gaetz announces plans after resigning and withdrawing from attorney general nomination
Matt Gaetz has announced he will not return to Congress after resigning amid sexual misconduct allegations. He withdrew from consideration for attorney general, claiming the allegations were part of a smear campaign against him. In an interview, Gaetz denied the allegations, stating they were intended to derail his nomination. He emphasized that the Justice Department previously investigated the claims and chose not to pursue charges. With his congressional career over, Gaetz plans to assist the Trump administration in recruiting for key positions. The administration has quickly nominated Pam Bondi as the new attorney general.
