President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Rep. Matt Gaetz to be the next Attorney General of the United States. Gaetz, a Florida lawmaker, has been under investigation by the Justice Department, which he would be leading. The appointment comes at a critical time for the Justice Department, as it has been under attack by Trump throughout his presidency. Trump himself is facing federal charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, a case that is nearing its conclusion.
Gaetz’s selection as Attorney General is a controversial move, given his own legal troubles. As a justice reporter for NBC News, Ryan J. Reilly will continue to provide updates on this developing story. Stay tuned for more information.
