Trump Nominates Matt Gaetz for Attorney General

President-elect Donald Trump has selected Republican U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz as his nominee for attorney general, promising reforms in key areas like government overreach, border security, and criminal justice. The nomination awaits approval from the Republican-dominated Senate.

In a significant move, President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he has chosen Representative Matt Gaetz as his nominee for the position of attorney general. Known for his fiery personality, Gaetz is a staunch Republican who aligns closely with Trump's agenda.

According to Trump, Gaetz's nomination is part of a broader effort to dismantle what he perceives as the 'Weaponized Government.' Trump believes that Gaetz will effectively safeguard U.S. borders, dismantle criminal organizations, and restore public confidence in the Justice Department.

The appointment will require confirmation from the Senate, which currently has a Republican majority, potentially smoothing the approval process. Gaetz's nomination signals Trump's intention to swiftly assemble a Cabinet focused on his campaign promises.
