independent.co.uk

Donald Trump is actively calling Republican senators to support Matt Gaetz’s nomination for 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 claims from two women that he paid for sex. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and was not charged with a crime. His recent resignation from the House ended the committee's jurisdiction over him. Despite the controversy, Trump remains committed to Gaetz's nomination. He has made other contentious appointments for his administration, prioritizing loyalty over experience.
