Trump Defends Gaetz Attorney General Nomination

President-elect Donald Trump has reaffirmed his decision not to reconsider the nomination of former Congressman Matt Gaetz as Attorney General despite widespread criticism and ongoing controversy. Gaetz was previously investigated by the Justice Department for sex trafficking allegations, though no charges were filed, and is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for alleged sexual misconduct involving a minor. Gaetz resigned from Congress shortly after his nomination, effectively ending the Ethics Committee's jurisdiction over him. Trump has been actively lobbying Republican senators to support Gaetz's confirmation, amid bipartisan concerns. The nomination has garnered skepticism, with some Republican senators urging the Ethics Committee to release its findings. Trump insists Gaetz is the right choice for the position, citing his fearlessness and ferocity.
