tmj4.com —
Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for attorney general, a position he was nominated for by President-elect Donald Trump last week. Gaetz stated that his confirmation was becoming a distraction for the Trump transition team. Trump expressed gratitude for Gaetz's efforts in securing Senate support. He praised Gaetz's future potential in politics, despite the controversy surrounding his nomination. Gaetz resigned from Congress amid ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct and other issues. The House Ethics Committee is currently divided on whether to release a report regarding these allegations.
