Donald Trump Announced Matt Gaetz as His Nominee for Attorney General
After Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, he surprised the world by appointing Republican Representative Matt Gaetza as his attorney general, potentially making the Republican the 87th person to hold the top law enforcement job in the United States.
According to Knewz.com, the president-elect stated in a post on his Truth Social platform that “ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System is one of the most important issues in America.”
“Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”
Matt Gaetz Resigned From Congress After the Announcement
House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed that Gaetz resigned from Congress because the loyalist was preparing for the attorney general confirmation process, only hours after Trump’s declaration.
When Trump selected Gaetz during a meeting, many people let out an audible gasp, according to sources who spoke to ABC News. In connection with the alleged sex trafficking event, the Justice Department opened an investigation into Gaetz. On the same grounds, the House Ethics Committee began looking into him as well.
Additionally, Gaetz declared that he will not be going back to Congress in 2025.
The battle will still be fought by me, but from a different angle. In an interview with Charlie Kirk, Gaetz stated, “I do not intend to join the 119th Congress.”
Matt Gaetz Received Support From Elon Musk
Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that the scandals were “worth less than nothing” and defended the 42-year-old attorney when they began to surface.
He commented on X: “A large brain, a steely spine, and an axe to grind are three essential qualities that Matt Gaetz possesses for the AG position. He is the Judge Dredd that America needs to purge a corrupt system and imprison influential criminals. Our Hammer of Justice will be Gaetz.
Musk went on to say: “A man is presumed innocent until proven guilty under our laws. AG Garland (an unprincipled d——–) knew he couldn’t get Gaetz convicted, but he would have if he could have. The case is closed.
Matt Gaetz Withdrew as Donald Trump’s Pick for Attorney General
“There is no time to waste on an unnecessary protracted Washington scuffle, so I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General,” Gaetz wrote in a post on November 21. On Day 1, Trump’s DOJ needs to be operational and prepared.
He was confirmed during the nomination process, which Gaetz said “was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/[JD] VanceTransition.”
Following Gaetz’s retirement, Trump declared that former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi would be his replacement.
Matt Gaetz Started a New Career
Gaetz joined the website Cameo and started creating customized films for a fee the day after he withdrawn from consideration as Trump’s attorney general candidate.
Semafor claims that before raising the price to $525 per clip, he charged $250 every video.
Gaetz also began using his X bio to advertise his account on the network.
