Matt Gaetz announced his withdrawal from consideration for Attorney General, citing concerns over his nomination being a distraction amid ongoing scrutiny regarding a federal sex trafficking investigation.
The decision came a day after Gaetz's meeting with senators, where he aimed to secure their support, despite the strong momentum leading to growing doubts about his confirmation.
In a statement, Gaetz emphasized the urgency, stating, 'There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle,' highlighting the need for a swift transition.
Gaetz's withdrawal marks a significant setback for Trump's plans to appoint loyalists, indicating potential resistance from within his own party during the transition phase.
