Gaetz was despised by many lawmakers across both political parties as his firebrand antics upended Congress including ousting former House Speaker. But it was the stench of sex trafficking allegations involving at least one minor, and the looming release of a House Ethics Committee report that sunk his nomination.
The Republican also claimed Trump could tap Gaetz as “czar” or the embattled lawmaker could seek to return to his congressional seat in the 119th Congress.“It was no surprise to anyone in the know,” said a second Republican, who requested anonymity to speak freely about what close Trump allies are thinking.
