Matt Gaetz Withdraws as Nominee for Attorney General

A major blow for President-elect Donald Trump as Matt Gaetz, his embattled nominee for attorney general, withdraws. Gaetz's withdrawal came just 45 minutes after he learned that CNN was about to report he had allegedly engaged in a threesome at a party held at a house outside Orlando in 2017. Even before the new report, he was rapidly losing support among Republicans. Inside Edition's Ann Mercogliano has more.

Coward😂 only a guilty man will do that

[raoulfr]

The fact that he was even picked for the position is insane! We would have had a POTUS that pays pornstars for sex and an AG that pays kids for it 😂

[Risket]

fyi, and "underage woman" is called a MINOR. report it accurately and stop trying to lessen it, she was a CHILD!

[Bestlifesofar]

He looks weird and is weird. It’s not like it was 30 ye old woman it’s a MINOR. Thank you for withdrawing. Now your whole life is being exposed. Good.

[HarmonixsLoL]

Just like Trump, Gaetz likes em young.

[skybearer]

A major blow? lol, no it isn't. It's best for business.

[rachelmp]

"underage woman" is an oxymoron. 17 is a minor. which means it was statutory rape. even if you don't believe he did it we should still use the correct words to describe the situation. it's not hard.

[richerich]

Just like Stalin....hes trying surrounding himself with the loyal blind followers

[mattchavez]

What did they find is my question. He’s scared

[StephenLuke-vi]

If "I'll see myself out." was a person. 😂

[Thezuule]

With any luck he doesn’t get his house seat back that he resigned from and we can get this guy behind bars where he belongs.

[matterdoo]

Man, Donald Trump has got great judgment when it comes to the attorney general

[Brad]

This shows Trump's bad judgment also. Let's not forget that too.

[ericsteigers]

He sure looks like a grown up Eddie Munster

[MahamidMayhem]

Shows a lot about Trumps character more than anything. Everyone knew already of the severity of crimes committed by Gaetz yet Trump still chose him as AG, along with a bunch of other criminals in his cabinet as well. But as they say, birds of a feather, stick together.

[rev.dr.yvonneray]

I have not liked nor trusted him for years for multiple reasons. I'm happy he's out.

[jelsner]

Now he can concentrate on his dream job of opening a 'Toddlers and Tiaras' school.

[Sosmaginary]

Also he resigned from the House of Representatives so this means he’s out of congress

[tormentorxl]

“I’m going to pick the best people” what a clown show.

[AlbertMoyerJr]

Dude looks like Jack Nicholson in THE SHINING! "Here's Johnny!"
