The Facts

  • Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said Thursday he is withdrawing his name from consideration as Pres.-elect Donald Trump's pick for US attorney general.

  • After meeting with Republican senators, Gaetz said he was withdrawing because "it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition."

  • This comes a day after the House Ethics Committee failed to reach an agreement to release a report concerning misconduct allegations against Gaetz.
