Trump nominates Matt Gaetz for attorney general in controversial move

Donald Trump has nominated former Congressman Matt Gaetz as his pick for attorney general, signaling a shift towards a more chaotic and controversial administration. Gaetz's nomination is seen as a direct challenge to both political opponents and establishment Republicans. Gaetz, who has faced past investigations and criticism from within his party, is viewed as unqualified for the role. His selection reflects Trump's intention to align the Justice Department with his political agenda, prioritizing loyalty over legal expertise. In addition to Gaetz, Trump has also nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health secretary and Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, further emphasizing his focus on appointing individuals who oppose the values of their respective departments. Confirmation hearings for Gaetz are expected to be contentious.
