Trump pressures senators to back Gaetz nomination as ethics report circulates
Former President Donald Trump is actively calling Republican senators to support his nomination of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General. This comes as the House Ethics Committee report on Gaetz's alleged misconduct has been shared with all committee members. The report details serious allegations against Gaetz, including testimony from two women about his conduct. Despite these claims, Trump continues to advocate for Gaetz, asserting he is the right choice for the position. The Ethics Committee is scheduled to meet to discuss the report, which some Republicans believe should be made public. Gaetz's recent resignation from the House means he is no longer under the committee's jurisdiction.
