Matt Gaetz withdraws as Trump's attorney general pick amid misconduct allegations

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations. This follows a pattern where several of President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks also face similar accusations, raising concerns about their suitability for high-ranking positions. Trump himself has been found liable for sexual abuse and defamation against E. Jean Carroll, among other allegations from multiple women. He and his nominees have denied the claims, suggesting they are politically motivated. Other nominees, including Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are also facing serious allegations. Hegseth is accused of sexual assault, while Kennedy admitted to inappropriate behavior in the past. Linda McMahon is named in a lawsuit alleging she enabled child sexual exploitation.
