Trump supports Gaetz after withdrawal from Attorney General consideration

Donald Trump expressed support for Matt Gaetz after Gaetz withdrew from consideration for Attorney General. Gaetz cited concerns that his nomination was becoming a distraction for the Trump administration amid ongoing allegations against him. Gaetz's withdrawal follows accusations of sexual misconduct, which he denies. He stated that he did not want to hinder the transition process and appreciated the support he received from senators. Trump has not announced a replacement for the Attorney General nomination. Gaetz previously faced a federal investigation but was cleared of sex-trafficking charges last year.
