In a statement Wednesday announcing his pick, Trump said Gaetz would root out “systemic corruption" at the Justice Department and return the department"to its true mission of fighting crime and upholding our democracy and constitution." Some of Gaetz’ allies in the House defended him as Trump’s pick, pointing to his experience as a member on the House Judiciary Committee. Asked Wednesday whether she thinks Gaetz could be confirmed, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a fellow Florida Republican, told reporters that many will try to “smear him,” but “the evidence will speak for itself.”
