Matt Gaetz withdraws from consideration as Trump's attorney general nominee

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general amid scrutiny from a federal sex trafficking investigation. His decision follows a meeting with senators to gain support for his confirmation. The withdrawal comes after unauthorized access to files containing allegations against Gaetz, including claims he paid for sex with underage girls. Gaetz has denied all allegations, and the investigation previously concluded without federal charges against him. Trump's transition team will announce a new attorney general nominee soon. Gaetz's exit marks a setback for Trump's efforts to appoint loyalists, indicating potential resistance within his party.
