News summary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Florida congressman Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, a decision that has sparked significant controversy among both Republican and Democratic lawmakers. Gaetz's resignation from Congress follows the announcement, effectively ending an Ethics Committee investigation into allegations of child sex trafficking and other misconduct. While some Republicans express support for Gaetz, labeling him a 'champion for the Constitution,' others, including Senator Lisa Murkowski, are skeptical about his qualifications for the role. The nomination has drawn mixed reactions on social media, with critics questioning Gaetz's suitability and character. Additionally, Trump's cabinet selections include former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence and Florida Senator Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, amidst a Republican majority in the House that enhances Trump's legislative power. This shift in power dynamics raises concerns about the implications for key issues like government funding and foreign aid as the new Congress prepares to convene.
