On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump announced that he was nominating Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general – calling him “a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney” who would “end weaponized government, protect our borders, dismantle criminal organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered faith and confidence in the Justice Department.”
The pick caught many by surprise, but the President-elect is focused on cleaning up the DOJ, writing that Gaetz – who has been a staunch defender of the president, “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.”
