Matt Gaetz withdraws from attorney general consideration amid sexual 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Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations.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, including Trump himself, who was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation. New allegations have emerged against other Trump nominees. Pete Hegseth is accused of sexual assault from a 2017 incident, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been accused of groping a babysitter in the late 1990s. Linda McMahon faces a lawsuit alleging she enabled child sexual exploitation in wrestling. Elon Musk has also been accused of sexual misconduct by a former flight attendant, with reports suggesting a settlement was reached. Gaetz, previously under investigation for sex trafficking, resigned from Congress before withdrawing his nomination.
