Donald Trump has nominated Matt Gaetz, a staunchly conservative congressman, as US Attorney General. Gaetz has resigned from his House seat, deflecting scrutiny from ongoing ethics investigations related to serious allegations including sex trafficking. Although he is a controversial figure within his own party, some Republicans support his nomination as a catalyst for change. However, confirmation by the Senate may face obstacles due to potential dissent within the Republican majority. Trump may consider bypassing traditional confirmation processes through recess appointments to expedite Gaetz’s entry into office.
