President-elect Trump announced Wednesday he will nominate disgraced Florida Congressmember Matt Gaetz as attorney general. Also on Wednesday, Gaetz abruptly resigned from Congress. It came just two days before a “highly damaging” report about Gaetz was set to be released by the House Ethics Committee, according to multiple reports. Gaetz was at the center of a sex trafficking probe, which included allegations he misused campaign funds, engaged in bribery and obstructed government. The House committee has now lost its jurisdiction to investigate Gaetz, though it could still release its report.
