Trump confirms support for Gaetz's Attorney General nomination despite controversy

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that he is not reconsidering his nomination of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. This comes amid bipartisan backlash over Gaetz's past allegations of sexual misconduct. Gaetz, a former Florida Congressman, is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee. Concerns have intensified following testimonies related to his alleged involvement with a minor. Despite the controversy, Trump is reportedly reaching out to Republican Senators to support Gaetz's nomination. Some Senators, like Kevin Cramer, have described Trump as persuasive in his efforts to advance Gaetz's appointment.
