Trump nominates Matt Gaetz for Attorney General amid mixed reactions in Washington

Donald Trump has nominated Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, a choice that has surprised many in Washington. Gaetz, who resigned from Congress amid ongoing investigations into his conduct, faces a challenging confirmation process. Despite his controversies, Gaetz has worked with Democrats on issues like drug policy reform and antitrust enforcement. He has supported efforts to decriminalize marijuana and expand access to psychedelics for veterans, which could influence his approach if confirmed. Gaetz's nomination raises questions about his independence and ability to lead the Justice Department. Some lawmakers emphasize the need for transparency regarding the allegations against him while acknowledging his bipartisan collaborations on specific issues.
