Florida Representative Matt Gaetz has been named as the Attorney General of the United States. President-elect Trump announced his pick for America’s “top cop” in a social media post, today, November 13. He wrote:
“It is my Great Honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The Attorney General of the United States. Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law, who has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice.”
The former president continued, offering broad brush strokes of what Mr. Gaetz will prioritize. He posted, “Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System. Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans' badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”
Gaetz has long been the subject of both Democrat ire and even drawn the scorn of those within his own party.
“Matt will root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution. We must have Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency at DOJ. Under Matt's leadership, all Americans will be proud of the Department of Justice once again,” Trump concluded.
