Trump nominates Matt Gaetz for attorney general, surprising even his father

Matt Gaetz has been nominated by President-Elect Donald Trump to be the next attorney general, surprising many, including his father, Don Gaetz. The elder Gaetz stated he had no prior warning about the nomination and that his son was not actively seeking the position. Matt Gaetz, a controversial figure facing investigations related to sex trafficking allegations, has not been charged with any crimes. His nomination comes just before the House Ethics Committee was set to release a report on him, which was halted by his resignation from Congress. Don Gaetz expressed uncertainty about his son's Senate confirmation, noting that it can be unpredictable. He emphasized Matt's commitment to advocating for his issues and his support for Trump, while also reflecting on his own return to the Florida Senate.
