Trump nominates Matt Gaetz as attorney general despite scrutiny over past allegations

Donald Trump has nominated Matt Gaetz as his attorney general, despite renewed scrutiny over past sex-trafficking allegations against Gaetz. Trump’s team is concerned that Gaetz may not be confirmed by the Senate. The nomination has sparked controversy, with claims resurfacing that Gaetz paid women to attend drug-fueled parties. Gaetz denies these allegations, and pressure is mounting on the House ethics committee to release its report on the matter. Trump's nomination process faces challenges, including accusations against other nominees. However, Trump values loyalty and aims to avoid conflicts seen in his first term, making Gaetz's confirmation a priority for his administration.
