The last president to have their Attorney General nominee scuttled amid a scandal was President George W. Bush, who had two candidates affected: Alberto Gonzales and Tim Griffin.
Alberto Gonzales, who was initially supported by the Bush administration, faced backlash due to his involvement in controversial policies and was later forced to resign due to mounting pressure.
President Bush’s attempt to nominate Tim Griffin as Attorney General was also thwarted when allegations surrounding Griffin’s previous political dealings raised questions about his suitability for the role.
This incident serves as a reminder of the political ramifications that scandals can have, impacting not only the individuals involved but also the administrations that support them.
