Matt Gaetz withdraws from attorney general consideration amid misconduct allegations against Trump’s Cabinet picks

Former congressman Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations.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. Trump himself was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation against E. Jean Carroll, a case involving multiple allegations from women. Other nominees, including Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have also been accused of misconduct, with varying responses to the allegations. Elon Musk, chosen to lead a new government department, faced accusations from a flight attendant, which he denied. Linda McMahon is named in a lawsuit alleging she enabled child exploitation in wrestling, which she also denies.
