After allegations of being involved in sex trafficking and having sex with a minor, United States President-elect pick for Attorney General, has withdrawn from the bid.
Matt Gaetz who is a former reps member announced his withdrawal from consideration at being Trump’s attorney general.
He made the announcement on a post via his official X handle.
“I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1. “
“I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America,” he posted.
Gaetz was earlier nominated by Donald Trump last week for the attorney general position.
