In a surprising turn of events, Congressman Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for U.S. Attorney General just eight days after being nominated by President-elect Donald Trump. Gaetz’s nomination raised eyebrows due to past allegations against him, and despite initial support from Trump, it became clear he lacked the necessary votes. His resignation from Congress follows an ongoing ethics investigation. Trump’s subsequent nomination of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has left Gaetz’s political future uncertain, although supporters believe he still has a role to play in the Republican landscape.
