Controversy Surrounds Gaetz's Potential Attorney General Nomination

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara criticized President-elect Trump's nomination of former Rep. Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, describing Gaetz as a 'bomb-thrower.' Gaetz, known for his controversial statements and strong support for Trump, will need Senate confirmation, where some GOP senators have expressed reservations. Gaetz's nomination follows his resignation from the House amid an ethics probe, which he denies wrongdoing in. Bharara emphasized the Senate's role in advising and consenting to such appointments.

Supreme Court Limits Fraud Prosecutions and Overturns Convictions in Corruption Cases.

The US Supreme Court has limited the Justice Department's use of the "honest-services fraud statute" in a pair of rulings that criticized legal theories frequently used by the department. The court threw out convictions emerging from former US Attorney Preet Bharara's crackdown on what he called a "show-me-the-money culture in Albany" during the tenure of former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
