Gaetz Seeks GOP Support for Attorney General Bid Amidst Controversy

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz is lobbying Republican senators to support his potential nomination as Attorney General under President-elect Donald Trump, despite an impending House Ethics Committee report that may detail allegations of sexual misconduct against him. Gaetz, who denies any wrongdoing, is making direct appeals to GOP senators and former colleagues to gain their backing. The Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Sen. Chuck Grassley, is interested in the report to expedite confirmation hearings, while nearly 100 House Democrats are urging the Ethics Committee to release the findings.
