Donald Trump expressed confidence in Matt Gaetz's nomination as attorney general, despite acknowledging that Gaetz has a less than 50-50 chance of confirmation due to serious allegations.
Despite the FBI investigation and ethical scrutiny surrounding Gaetz, Trump’s nomination appears aimed at shifting the standard for cabinet selections toward more controversial figures.
While Gaetz's nomination encounters significant pushback from Senate Republicans, the president-elect is determined to challenge traditional vetting processes for even the most disputed candidates.
The emergence of testimony from women making serious allegations against Gaetz, alongside hacking incidents revealing sensitive information, complicates his path to confirmation.
