Whoa! 🤯 In a surprising turn of events, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has selected Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz from Florida to serve as attorney general in his new administration.
Trump announced the pick on his Truth Social platform, saying, \"Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans' badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.\"
This bold move comes as Trump continues to accuse Democrats of weaponizing the Justice Department, all while he denies any wrongdoing in his own criminal cases. He's also promised political retribution during his campaign—talk about drama! 🍿
Gaetz, a staunch Trump supporter and conservative firebrand, has even called for abolishing the Justice Department unless major reforms are made. His appointment could signal major changes ahead. 🔥
The role of attorney general is set to be pivotal in Trump's agenda for his second term, playing a key role in implementing his policies. With Gaetz at the helm, we might see some serious shake-ups! 🌪️
Remember when Gaetz gained national attention last October? He forced a vote on the \"motion to vacate,\" leading to the historic ouster of Kevin McCarthy as House speaker. This guy isn't afraid to stir the pot! 🥄
Incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune commented that the Senate will \"vet\" all of Trump's nominees during the confirmation process. \"We're gonna vet and process and look at all the nominees when they come forward and we'll see,\" he told CNN.
With the Republican Party flipping four seats in the Senate and securing a 53-seat majority, Senate approval might be smoother for the president's picks. But only time will tell how this unfolds. Stay tuned! 📺
