Trump seeks new attorney general nominee after Gaetz withdrawal
Matt Gaetz has withdrawn as Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney general. This change has sparked new speculation about potential candidates for the position. Names being considered include Jeff Jensen, a former U.S. attorney, and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. Former acting attorney general Matt Whitaker was also mentioned before Gaetz's selection. Trump recently appointed Todd Blanche as the second-highest official in the Justice Department and Emil Bove as principal associate deputy attorney general. Gaetz's withdrawal follows a meeting with senators amid scrutiny over a federal investigation.
