Trump supports Gaetz for attorney general amid ethics investigation concerns
President-elect Donald Trump is supporting former Congressman Matt Gaetz as his nominee for attorney general, despite ongoing concerns about an unreleased ethics investigation into Gaetz's conduct. Trump has sent Vice President-elect JD Vance to facilitate meetings between Gaetz and Republican senators. The House Ethics Committee is meeting this week to discuss the potential release of a report on Gaetz. It remains uncertain if Gaetz will secure enough support from Senate Republicans for confirmation. Nomination hearings are not expected to start until early next year.
