Senator Tuberville plans to push for Gaetz confirmation as attorney general in January
Senator Tommy Tuberville announced plans for Senate Republicans to confirm Matt Gaetz as U.S. attorney general in early January. Gaetz, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump, resigned from Congress amid ongoing investigations into allegations of misconduct. Some GOP senators want the House Ethics Committee report released before voting on Gaetz's confirmation. The committee has not agreed to release the report, which includes serious allegations against Gaetz. The Republican-controlled Senate will have a narrow majority, making every vote crucial for confirmation. Trump is reportedly reaching out to GOP senators to secure support for Gaetz.
