Trump Appoints Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, Sparking Controversy
Donald Trump has nominated Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, eliciting strong reactions from both sides of the aisle. Gaetz, a staunch Trump ally known for his controversial statements, faces skepticism from Democrats including Senator Chris Coons. While Elon Musk dubbed Gaetz ‘the Hammer of Justice,’ concerns linger over ongoing ethics investigations linked to him. As he prepares for Senate confirmation, Gaetz’s extreme conservative views raise questions about his approach to the Justice Department and his ability to unify the party, especially after his role in Kevin McCarthy’s ousting.
