Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the response to Donald Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz to be his Attorney General

Donald Trump's latest nomination for roles in his Cabinet has drawn shock from some Republicans.  

He's nominated Congressman Matt Gaetz to be his Attorney General.  

Gaetz has previously been investigated over allegations of sexual misconduct. 

US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking it's causing backlash.  

He says multiple Republicans are scathing about their colleague — with one reportedly using a swear word when he found out.
