Matt Gaetz's Controversial Nomination
Matt Gaetz's nomination for attorney general has sparked significant controversy, primarily due to allegations of sexual misconduct. Two women testified that they received payments from Gaetz in exchange for sex, with one claiming to have witnessed Gaetz engaged with a minor at a party. These claims emerged amid an ongoing investigation by the House Ethics Committee, which has faced pressure from House Speaker Mike Johnson to suppress its findings. Despite Gaetz's firm denials, skepticism from various Republican senators suggests he may struggle to secure the votes needed for confirmation.
