Former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz withdrew his name for consideration as Trump's pick for attorney general. He has come under intense scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct.

Matt Gaetz, who had been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be the United States attorney general, withdrew from the selection process on Thursday, after widespread opposition including from within his Republican Party.

"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 said on social media.

The former Florida congressman, who was nominated last week, faced questions over his fitness to serve as the country's top law enforcement official and his past conduct.

Gaetz was investigated by the Justice Department for nearly three years into potential sex trafficking violations in a probe that ended last year without charges being brought.

The 42-year-old had also faced a a lenghty probe by a congressional ethics panel into possible sexual misconduct and drug use but he resigned last week from his seat in the House of Representatives, which would usually mark the end of a congressional investigation into the matter.

Gaetz denied all of the claims he faced but said in his statement on X that he hoped to avoid a "needlessly protracted Washington scuffle."

Trump looks forward to Gaetz's next step

Reacting to the news, Trump took to his Truth Social network to say he was looking forward to seeing what Gaetz will do next after withdrawing as his pick.

"He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect," Trump posted. "Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!"

Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, one of Trump's biggest Senate supporters, also threw his support behind Gaetz, saying on on X that he believes the former congressman "will continue to contribute to our nation's wellbeing for years to come."

The coward chickened out!!!

Probably thinking of life after The real Donald.

His past misdemeanor coming back to hunt him and of course he did the honorable thing by withdrawing himself from the country's top legal job. Unlike my dear country where starting from the courts will be granting him perpetual injunction from persecution, bro will be saying i'm being witch hunted and his region will be shouting leave our son alone.
It is well...

Hegseth next

Just look at the kind of people Donald trump is appointing, people with questionable character, very shameful


This is one thing I like about the democrats, they will never make the mistake of appointing people with scandals and dark past, but I'm not surprised, Donald trump himself is a convicted felon

Anijay1212:
But why

He was accused of having intercourse with a 17 year old girl, who is a minor by American standards , back in 2019. Among other things

The evidence unfortunately for him appears to be very strong

Good one from Gaetz. Now let's see wat the democrats will wail on next.

There are things Trump can’t do because it’s a working system

And if he does them prison still awaits him at 90

Did just learn the word coward and decided to throwing it around or U tink it's Nigeria where former drug lords and people wit criminal records bcom Presidents and Governors abi?

It takes a man wit principle and integrity to do wat he just did. A man wit Zero integrity wouldn't give a fvk abt wat people are saying abt him. That's one of the differences between the White man and the Black man.

How does it concern us? If Tinubu resigns today many Americans wouldn't even know about it.

Bitter, unhinged Demonrats are a threat to democracy

They are like a mob

The real reason for the strong opposition to his nomination was his fiery and hard-line stance

Both sides of the aisle knew he'll be deeply disruptive thus they had to get him out

Not fit for the job. He should face his probe.

I tell you! The Democrats want this world to end quickly.

Criminal Trump is filling his cabinet with fellow criminals like himself.
Gaetz the child molester.

When we told you Trump was a blockhead, y'all were screaming like hyenas.

Una don see am?

A fuqing paedophile who engaged in se.x trafficking.

What a douchebag.

The Chaos that will so pervade the Trump administration will be so massive it will be so delightful to watch..

Dude doesn't care about competency, all he cares about is YES MEN who will prope him up as a Dictator who nobody questions

Because if not that you're crazy,why would you nominate a paedophile as Attorney General?

Anyways,this is just the beginning.

In such places, public posts are highly scrutinized by all stakeholders. If you are found wanting by any measure, you will prosecuted.

It is not like Nigeria where a man was counting stollen dollars into his bags on a national TV, and just few months thereafter, they compensated him with national chairman of the ruling party of the nation.

In this case, you are talking of the attorney general . . Such roles must be assumed with impeccable pedigrees.

He examined himself. . but a Nigerian politician will rather die there. . Despite stains and vast incompetence.

The fact that even his own republican colleagues didn't want him despite Trump's nomination gives me hope.

We sef don stop down for hia
