Trump seeks new attorney general candidate after Gaetz withdrawal

Donald Trump is seeking a new candidate for attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration. Potential candidates include Todd Blanche, who has defended Trump in legal matters, and Senator Mike Lee, who has strong Senate support. Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, is also under consideration for the role. He has been vocal in supporting Trump and opposing the national security establishment. Ken Paxton, Texas attorney general, is another candidate, despite facing his own legal challenges. The search for a new attorney general reflects Trump's preference for loyal supporters. The withdrawal of Gaetz has opened the door for other candidates who align closely with Trump's agenda.
