President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Northwest Florida U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz to become attorney general is generating intense opposition, but it’s not just from Democrats in Washington.
Shortly after news broke Wednesday afternoon that Trump had nominated him, Gaetz stepped down from his seat representing Florida’s 1st Congressional District. His resignation came just days before before the House Ethics Committee was poised to vote on releasing a “highly damaging” report outlining its investigation of Gaetz, according to a report from Punchbowl News.
