Donald Trump has nominated Matt Gaetz as attorney general, causing anxiety among Justice Department employees. Many are concerned about Gaetz's lack of law enforcement experience and his past criticisms of the agency, leading to fears about job security and the department's future. Gaetz, a Trump loyalist, has suggested abolishing the FBI and other agencies. His nomination is seen as a move to disrupt the Justice Department, which has faced scrutiny over politically charged investigations. Some employees are already considering leaving their positions. While some Republicans support Gaetz, others are hesitant about his confirmation. He faces ongoing scrutiny over past allegations, and the House Speaker has blocked the release of investigation results related to him. Concerns about the department's stability and leadership are growing among career employees.
