Trump nominates Gaetz as attorney general, raising concerns within Justice Department

Donald Trump has nominated Matt Gaetz as attorney general, causing anxiety within the Justice Department. Many employees are concerned about Gaetz's lack of law enforcement experience and his past federal investigation for sex trafficking. Gaetz's selection is seen as a move to prioritize loyalty and disrupt the agency, which has investigated Trump. Some Justice Department lawyers are considering leaving their positions due to the nomination and Gaetz's controversial views on the department. The nomination's confirmation is uncertain, with some Senate Republicans expressing concerns. Gaetz faces ongoing scrutiny from a House ethics investigation, which has raised alarms among Justice Department staff about his leadership and potential impact on the agency's integrity.
