Former Rep. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for U.S. Attorney General, he wrote in a social media post on X.
Gaetz said he had “excellent meetings” with senators on Wednesday, but it became “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,” Gaetz wrote.
“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 said.
The firebrand’s nomination was being derailed by unfounded accusations made by the legacy media and women who all of a sudden had history with Gaetz.
I never thought it would actually get to the Senate confirmation process.
Haaaa! Knew it.
Pictures don’t lie.
Outstanding!!! I couldn’t believe Trump nominated that guy in the first place. I believe this is a great thing, since he resigned from the house he now has to get backfilled hopefully by a conservative. But I am glad he is gone as he has caused a lot of problems for republicans. Good riddance!
A good result. Mr. Gaetz was a poor choice – little actual legal experience, lousy political mechanics and serious questions about his character. Hopefully the President-elect can find someone good to clean up the Deep State at DOJ and the FBI.
Daddy’s Little Princess was one of the very first to object to Gaetz. I believe she even takes issue with the other nominations. How exactly does this obstructionist // defiant approach help Alaska and Alaskans? Seems like her current posture is more of a detriment // unmitigated risk // liability … driven completely by her unhinged emotions and menstrual anger. At some point, she needs to grow up and get-on-board to repairing the damage done. Or, get out of the way!!!
Democrats were scared sh*tless of this guy. He would’ve found a way to put Hillary Clinton in jail.
(where she belongs).
The firebrand’s nomination was being derailed by unfounded accusations made by the legacy media and women who all of a sudden had history with Gaetz. He has been under investigation for years for his alleged abuses, the report was scheduled to be released when he resigned quickly. What was in it that he didn’t want known?
He’s not gone Don’t be surprised if he get’s a higher position
First – and quick- defeat of his second term.
Poor wife Ginger has gone silent. She is 12 years younger than Matt. He likes em young. Lol
Shell be fine. Her billionaire brother just sold Oculus for 2 billion plus a billion in bonuses. Gotta be disheartening to learn you will never be first lady.
Unfounded? If the allegations were so unfounded, why doesn’t the House Ethics Committee release the report to the public? Were the charges dropped? Yes. Were they unfounded? Evidently not.
The Republicans used to be the party of Christian values, but no more. They’re just as craven as the Democrats. Zero moral compass.
Check this out: Matt Gaetz resigned from the 118h Congress. His election to the 119th Congress is still valid since they have not been sworn in.
My sources tell me Lisa likes little girls. She has to go. See how easy that is? Anyone can accuse anyone of anything, no proof needed. Guilty as sin.
What a mess. I sure miss the Rule of Law.
Gaetz is definitely gonna become a youth pastor now.
The Brett Kavanaugh BS all over again. The bureaucratic tyranny is determined to hang on to their power, in any manner possible.
