Matt Gaetz Withdraws from Attorney General Consideration

Former Congressman Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for the position of Attorney General after facing increasing scrutiny regarding allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. His withdrawal was announced via social media, where he stated that his confirmation had become an unfair distraction for the Trump administration. This sudden decision raised questions amongst GOP senators about the future of Trump's choices for high-level positions, specifically the Attorney General role. Gaetz's exit came after personal lobbying by Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance to rally support within the Senate.
