Matt Gaetz Withdraws As Donald Trump’s Attorney General Pick

He announced his decision on social media Thursday after holding meetings with some of the senators whose support he would have needed to be confirmed. 

“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,” Gaetz wrote.

“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,” the post read.
