Matt Gaetz Withdraws from Attorney General Consideration

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for the position of attorney general after facing numerous allegations, including drug use and sexual encounters with a minor. His decision came after realizing that his confirmation process was becoming a distraction for the incoming Trump administration. Despite Gaetz denying the accusations, pressure from Republican senators was mounting, with at least five reportedly prepared to vote against his nomination. President-elect Trump acknowledged Gaetz's choice to step down, suggesting he still sees a promising future for him in politics.
