Read our privacy policy Matt Gaetz shocked Washington on Thursday with his announcement he was dropping out of consideration to be Donald Trump’s Attorney General, as the recently resigned Florida congressman’s bid for confirmation faced serious questions amid sexual misconduct allegations. “I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America.” The decision may eliminate one big question mark hanging over Gaetz — would he get confirmed in the Senate — but it triggers a whole host of other uncertainties. Gaetz might have to face special election to return to Congress One way or another, if Gaetz makes it back to Congress, a cloud of allegations will remain over the Florida attorney. The Republican left Congress two days before an explosive House Ethics Committee report was slated to be released about him, in which a witness reportedly claimed Gaetz paid her for sex.
