Matt " I didn't know she wasn't 18" Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration to be appointed the next Attorney General after further details were uncovered about his sexual encounters with an underaged girl.
Former GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz is withdrawing from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, he said in a post on X Thursday.
The former Florida lawmaker said he made the decision after meeting with senators Wednesday.
“While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” Gaetz wrote. “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.”
