Trump pushes for Gaetz confirmation as attorney general despite GOP concerns

Donald Trump is pushing for Matt Gaetz to be confirmed as attorney general, calling senators to support his nomination. This comes amid growing concerns from GOP senators about Gaetz's past conduct, including allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denies. The House Ethics Committee is set to meet, but House Speaker Mike Johnson argues the report on Gaetz should not be released since he is no longer a member of Congress. Some Republican senators are calling for the report to be made public before any confirmation vote. Trump's insistence on Gaetz reflects a broader test of power within the GOP. He aims to assert his influence over the Senate, despite potential backlash from senators wary of Gaetz's character and the implications for their own political futures.
