Matt Gaetz has announced his withdrawal from his nomination for Attorney General, citing the distraction it has caused to the Trump/Vance Transition. Gaetz expressed gratitude for the support of Senators and the support of many, but stated that his confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction. He stated that Trump's Department of Justice must be ready on Day 1, and he remains committed to ensuring the success of Donald J. Trump as the most successful President in history.
Trump issued a statement expressing gratitude for Gaetz's efforts in seeking approval for Attorney General and looking forward to his future. Gaetz's withdrawal comes one day after the House Ethics Committee announced it would not release files from the federal sex trafficking investigation into him. A document from the Department of Justice's probe was leaked to The New York Times, revealing that Gaetz made thousands of dollars in payments to women who told investigators they had sex with him for money. Gaetz has denied all allegations, and the Justice Department declined to bring charges after investigating the matter.
Trump has not reconsidered Gaetz's nomination due to the allegations against him, and it is currently unclear who he will choose as a replacement.
