Matt Gaetz has announced that he is withdrawing his name from the list of candidates for attorney general.
“While momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation unfairly impeded the important work of the Trump-Vance transition,” Gaetz wrote.
I had a great meeting with the senators yesterday. We are grateful for their thoughtful feedback and the incredible support of so many people. Although momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation unfairly hindered the important work of the Trump-Vance transition. There is no time to waste on unnecessarily prolonged Washington brawls. Therefore, I am withdrawing my name from consideration for attorney general. President Trump's Justice Department must be staffed and ready from day one.
I remain committed to the belief that Donald J. Trump is the most successful president in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice, and I am confident that he will save America.
President Donald Trump responded to the news, saying, “He's done a very good job, but at the same time he didn't want to get in the way of the administration. I have a lot of respect for the administration.”
I am extremely grateful for Matt Gaetz's recent efforts to seek confirmation to serve as Attorney General. He was doing very well, but at the same time he had great respect for the regime because he didn't want to get in the way of it. Matt has a great future ahead of him. I look forward to seeing him do great things.
