Matt Gaetz on Thursday announced he is withdrawing his nomination for US Attorney General after a meeting with senators.
The Deep State and media stenographers really ramped up their attacks against Matt Gaetz since Trump nominated him for US Attorney General last week.
The New York Times on Wednesday announced it obtained a leaked document from the federal alleged sex trafficking investigation of Matt Gaetz.
The release of the leak came shortly after the House Ethics Committee decided not to release its lawfare investigation report on sham allegations of sex trafficking and sexual relations with a minor against Matt Gaetz on Wednesday. It should be noted that Attorney General Merrick Garland did not have evidence to press charges against Gaetz.
After relentless attacks over junk allegations, Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination on Thursday.
“I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1,” Matt Gaetz said.
“I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America,” Gaetz said.
