Jake Tapper expressed profound disbelief on his CNN show after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Rep. Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, a move that surprised many in Washington, including Republicans. Tapper highlighted the potential dangers of such a nomination, suggesting it exemplifies Trump’s approach without 'guardrails.' Gaetz, known for his loyalty to Trump and controversial political stances, immediately resigned from Congress following the announcement, effectively ending an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation into serious allegations against him. Trump's endorsement described Gaetz as a 'deeply gifted and tenacious attorney,' despite his contentious past, which includes investigations into sexual misconduct and drug use. This nomination is set to provoke significant backlash from Democrats and raise eyebrows among GOP members due to Gaetz's history and the implications of his appointment to such a critical role in the Justice Department.
