Congressman Matt Gaetz has taken himself out of the running for Attorney General in the next Trump administration. The embattled legislator faced heavy criticism after President-elect Trump named him as the pick for AG, with allegations of sexual misconduct surrounding the Congressman. Gaetz announced Thursday he was withdrawing so as “to not distract from the goals of President-elect Trump's agenda.” Former Congressman, host of Sunday Night In America, and host of the Trey Gowdy Podcast, Trey Gowdy joins the Rundown to discuss Congressman Gaetz's decision to step back from his AG nomination, what reforms need to come to the Department of Justice, and takes a look at the "disruptors" that President-elect Trump has picked for his cabinet.
With another opportunity to shake things up, President-elect Trump has some different ideas for the economy and federal government finances. There has been speculation that cryptocurrency under the new Trump administration will see a serious boost, as Trump spent some time on the campaign trail saying he would make “the United States the crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world.” Co-anchor of America’s Newsroom Sandra Smith explains the moves made by the President-elect and his allies so far to embrace and prioritize crypto in the next administration.
