Trump selects Gaetz as attorney general emphasizing loyalty over experience

Donald Trump has chosen Matt Gaetz as his pick for attorney general, highlighting loyalty over experience. Gaetz, a strong supporter during Trump's legal challenges, replaces more established candidates. This marks a shift from the previous administration's approach to the Justice Department. Trump's selection of Gaetz comes amid ongoing federal investigations against him. Gaetz has been critical of the Justice Department, claiming it is biased against conservatives. His appointment raises concerns among Democrats and some Republicans about potential misuse of the department. If confirmed, Gaetz would be the first attorney general in two decades without prior Justice Department experience. He has previously called for significant changes to federal agencies, indicating a confrontational stance towards law enforcement.
