TL;DR

President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general, a move that could impact the independence of the Justice Department. Gaetz, a staunch Trump ally and critic of the Russia investigation, was previously investigated for sex trafficking but was not charged. Trump praised Gaetz for his commitment to reforming the Justice Department and ending what he calls the 'partisan weaponization' of the justice system.
