“(zh) former rep. Matt Gaetz (r-fl) has withdrawn his name for consideration for attorney general, amid growing controversy over [fraudulent] sexual misconduct allegations.

“‘while the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,’ Gaetz wrote on x.

“‘there is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as attorney general. Trump’s doj must be in place and ready on day 1.

“it is unknown if Gaetz will be tapped to replace Marco Rubio as the florida senator by governor Ron DeSantis, though that’s the thinking at the moment or nbc theorized Gaetz could run again for his house seat.
