'Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System,' Trump said.
Rep. Matt Gaetz arrives to speak during the third day of the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisc., on July 17.
Gaetz, 42, would take the helm of a department that as recently as last year was investigating him for possible sex trafficking offenses. Ultimately, prosecutors recommended against bringing charges against him after a long-running probe. “Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System,” Trump added. “Matt will end Weaponized Government, protest our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”
“Obviously the president has the right to nominate whomever he wishes,” Collins said. “But this is why the Senate’s advise and consent process is so important.”
