Trump names Matt Gaetz as attorney general
WASHINGTON (AA) – President-elect Donald Trump named Matt Gaetz as attorney general on Wednesday.
“It is my Great Honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The Attorney General of the United States,” Trump said on his Truth Social media platform.
Gaetz is a “deeply gifted and tenacious attorney” trained at the William & Mary College of Law, Trump said.
“Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System. Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department,” he added.
