Republican senators question Trump’s nomination of Gaetz for attorney general amid new allegations
Republican senators are questioning President-elect Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for attorney general amid serious allegations. The House Ethics Committee is set to vote on releasing details of its investigation into Gaetz, who resigned from Congress. New allegations include 27 Venmo payments from Gaetz to two women, with claims that some payments were for sex. Gaetz denies all charges, stating a previous Justice Department investigation found no evidence against him. Despite the controversy, the incoming president is not reconsidering Gaetz's nomination. Trump is also moving forward with other appointments, including Linda McMahon for Education Secretary and Dr. Mehmet Oz for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
