Matt Gaetz Resigns, Nominated for AG

Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida has resigned from Congress following his nomination by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as the Attorney General of the United States. This nomination comes amidst an ongoing ethics probe into allegations of sex trafficking, sexual misconduct, and drug use against Gaetz. Trump's decision to nominate Gaetz, known for his loyalist stance and disruptive reputation, has surprised many, including his colleagues in Congress. Gaetz's selection is part of Trump's broader strategy to fill his cabinet with trusted allies rather than more experienced officials. The resignation ends the ethics probe into Gaetz's conduct. Additionally, Trump has nominated other controversial figures, including Sen. Marco Rubio for Secretary of State and Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence[1][2][3]
