Gaetz's AG Nomination Sparks Controversy Amid Ethics Probe and Trump's Influence

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt speculated that President-elect Trump might be strategically maneuvering by nominating former Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general, potentially to end a House ethics investigation into Gaetz. Gaetz's resignation from the House halts the probe, but the Senate Judiciary Committee may still investigate. Trump praised Gaetz's legal skills, despite ongoing controversies surrounding him. Senate Judiciary members have shown interest in the ethics report, and Hewitt expressed skepticism about Gaetz's suitability for the DOJ role.
