President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida to serve as his attorney general. Gaetz has been a strong ally of Trump in the House.
"Gaetz remains under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for sexual misconduct, with the bipartisan committee saying in a rare statement in June that some of the allegations against Gaetz “merit continued review.” Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
Trump’s announcement came as House Republicans were meeting ‘behind closed doors’ to hold their leadership elections. Lawmakers expressed surprise as they trickled out of their conference meeting and learned of the selection."
It is my opinion that ALL of those in the House and Senate need to be completely, and thoroughly investigated for all sorts of crimes and deviant behavior. Starting at the top and working down the list.
Good news - Mitch McConnell, who has led Senate Republicans since 2007, announced in February that he would step down as GOP leader this year.
