Matt Gaetz withdraws from consideration for Attorney General after new allegations surface

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for Attorney General under President-elect Donald Trump. This decision follows new allegations involving drug-fueled sex parties and payments to women, which have become a distraction for the incoming administration. Gaetz is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for various allegations, including sexual misconduct and misuse of campaign funds. The committee paused its investigation while the Justice Department looked into similar claims but has since resumed its work after the DOJ decided not to charge Gaetz. Trump expressed appreciation for Gaetz's efforts but acknowledged the need to avoid distractions. Gaetz remains committed to supporting Trump, while speculation arises about his potential nomination for a Senate seat in Florida.
