On Wednesday, president-elect Donald Trump officially nominated Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to be the next Attorney General.
Read the full statement:
| 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. Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law, who has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice. 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. On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight of DOJ, Matt played a key role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and exposing alarming and systemic Government Corruption and Weaponization. He is a Champion for the Constitution and the Rule of Law. Matt will root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution. We must have Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency at DOJ. Under Matt’s leadership, all Americans will be proud of the Department of Justice once again. |
This is a breaking news story. Please check back for updates.
I don’t appreciate the headline: Trump Taps “Controversial” MAGA Start for Top Admin. Role.
There is nothing controversial about being a person who loves this country, abides by laws, and expects those who break the laws to be prosecuted.
BRAVO
Will he Prosecute Big time
This is a deal to save sleazy Gaetz from Congress’s investigation into his vile personal activities. The appointment shows Trump’s appreciation of Gaetz’ 8 years support. By immediately resigning from the House the investigation ENDS! He steps out & Gov. DeSantis moves quickly to begin replacement process, Gaetz (&Trump) knows he will not be confirmed, but avoids potential disgrace, or worse.
