Gaetz's resignation from Congress halts a House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and other ethical violations, as the panel has no jurisdiction over former members.
If confirmed, Gaetz will lead the Department of Justice, a striking appointment considering he faced investigations for sexual misconduct and trafficking allegations, which were ultimately not pursued.
His tenure has been marked by controversy, including a push to overturn the 2020 election results and promotion of conspiracy theories surrounding the Capitol riot.
Having self-identified as a libertarian populist, Gaetz's political career has been shaped by his Florida upbringing and connection to a prominent political family.
