Matt Gaetz withdraws as Trump’s pick for attorney general

Matt Gaetz withdrew Thursday as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general following continued scrutiny over a federal sex trafficking investigation that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed as the nation’s chief federal law enforcement officer.

America deserves the truth about this !

[Ak_ice]

Release all names that used the sexual assault hush fund. What is it now $25 million payed out

[MrRinodat]

We don't care matt, release the report.

[Pugjems]

Taxpayers deserve to see the full report they paid for

[mooseheadjack]

Now we REALLY need to release that report!

[beatlejuice]

Gee, it's almost like was guilty of something...

[lamontlauren]

I think most people forgot how most of his cabinet never lasted more than a year…

[GuyPerson-jttv]

You know what they say. If you can't take the heat, don't have sex with a minor.

Hmmm, Rubios seat is going to be open, I wonder if Trump decided to give the senate republicans a big FU for not backing his pick by having DeSantis appoint him to be one of them.

[williamrobinson]

You can indict a ham sandwich, but not a snotty millionaire.

[TopCatRoman]

It feels like they told him to step down or they will release it

[markwest]

Desantis appoints him to the senate to fill Rubio's seat. Trump then changes Kash Patel nomination to AG instead of FBI. General Flynn then becomes head of FBI.

[thomasobrien]

All a ruse so he can dodge the findings of an investigation.

[Magnetron]

I paid for the report and I want to see it period!

[julieavitia]

He withdraws because he knows is guilty in this investigation but American people we deserve to see the report because they used taxpayer money

[danielbailey]

Still want him investigated and prosecuted for being a pedo

[Manuel-zxmg]

Take him To Court he's trying Dodge a bullet?

[FredySantoss]

Not something that would happen if he was innocent

[kellyflanagan]

Great! But this doesn’t mean you are getting out of this situation. Release the report.

[colberthunter]

Desantis will make Matt the New Senator from Florida taking Rubio's Senate seat and Congress will still have to deal with Matt, who really thinks he is about to just go away? Nobody.
