Trump nominates Matt Gaetz as Attorney General amid controversy and ethics concerns

Donald Trump has nominated Rep. Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, surprising many in Washington. Gaetz, known for his controversial past and ongoing ethics investigations, resigned from the House just before the Ethics Committee was set to release a report on him. This nomination signals Trump's intent to pursue a revenge agenda against perceived enemies. Gaetz's reputation for confrontational politics raises concerns among lawmakers about his potential influence over the Justice Department. Senate Democrats are unlikely to support Gaetz's confirmation, and some Republicans are wary of the nomination. Trump may attempt to bypass the Senate's approval process through recess appointments, raising questions about the future of his administration.
