Matt Gaetz's Withdrawal from Attorney General Consideration
Matt Gaetz withdrew his candidacy for attorney general after facing significant challenges to secure Senate confirmation. Despite efforts to rally support, he encountered allegations of sexual misconduct, including accusations involving a minor, which he has denied.
