Matt Gaetz withdraws from attorney general consideration but leaves door open for Congress return
Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for Donald Trump's attorney general position but may still return to Congress. He resigned from his House seat last week, stating he did not intend to take the oath for the new Congress. Political analysts note that Gaetz's resignation letter leaves room for him to change his mind. He was re-elected earlier this month, and some believe he could still be sworn in for the new Congress. The House Ethics Committee is investigating Gaetz, but its report may not be released if he does not serve. If he chooses to return, it could benefit Republican numbers in the House.
