Presidents-elect pick for the position of Attorney-general of the USA Matt Gaetz has drop out after his nomination came under fire.
Gaetz who resigned from congress after being tapped by Mr. Trump has been under investigation for drug use and sex with a minor. About two women have come forward to testify that he paid them $10,000 for a sex romp, allegations which he has always denied
Writing on his X social media page Thursday Gaetz said: “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition.”
The president-elect has meanwhile unveiled a new range of branded guitars and made further additions to his proposed cabinet, naming Matthew Whitaker and Peter Hoekstra his ambassadors to NATO and Canada, following the nominations of Linda McMahon, Dr Mehmet Oz and Howard Lutnick earlier this week.
