New allegations complicate Matt Gaetz's nomination for attorney general
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz has been nominated by Donald Trump for attorney general, but new allegations may complicate his confirmation. A witness testified to the House Ethics Committee about Gaetz's alleged sexual misconduct with a minor. Legal analyst Elie Honig noted that the ongoing investigation could lead to more revelations. He stated that witnesses are now free to come forward, which could create significant issues for Gaetz if his nomination proceeds. Honig also clarified that while the Department of Justice did not charge Gaetz, this does not mean he was "cleared" of wrongdoing, as claimed by Gaetz's attorney.
