Trump calls GOP senators to support Gaetz nomination as attorney general despite allegations

Donald Trump is actively calling Republican senators to support Matt Gaetz's nomination as attorney general. This comes despite allegations against Gaetz involving drug use and sex parties during his time in Congress. Trump remains committed to Gaetz, seeking to secure the necessary Senate votes. Gaetz faces significant challenges in gaining Senate approval, needing 51 votes. Reports indicate that Trump allies are considering using the Federal Vacancies Reform Act to appoint Gaetz temporarily if the Senate does not confirm him. New allegations have emerged, claiming Gaetz attended multiple parties involving illegal drugs and underage individuals. Gaetz has denied wrongdoing, asserting that the accusations are part of a smear campaign against him.
