Matt Gaetz, a controversial pick by President-elect Donald Trump for US Attorney General, has withdrawn from the confirmation process, marking an early challenge for the new administration.

Gaetz, known for his scandal-ridden career, was among Trump’s notable selections, which included Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary, vaccine sceptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health Secretary, and billionaire Elon Musk to lead a government cost-cutting unit.

A congressional panel was investigating Gaetz for alleged illegal activities, including sexual misconduct with a 17-year-old girl—a charge he denies—drug use and misappropriation of campaign funds. Facing significant resistance, even from within his party, Gaetz’s confirmation in the Senate appeared doubtful.

“After excellent meetings with Senators yesterday and receiving thoughtful feedback, I am grateful for the widespread support,” Gaetz stated on X. “However, it’s evident that my confirmation process was unfairly detracting from the essential work of the Trump/Vance Transition.”

Elected to the US House of Representatives in 2016 and reelected this month, Gaetz resigned shortly after he was nominated attorney general.

“Matt has a wonderful future ahead of him, and I am excited to see what he accomplishes next,” Trump commented following Gaetz’s withdrawal.

Trump’s nominations have often sparked controversy, and the latest transition issue arises as unsettling new allegations surface against Defense nominee Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth was investigated for sexual assault following an incident reported by a woman at a 2017 conference in California. According to The New York Times, the investigation concluded without charges against Hegseth. The woman involved reported memory loss and suspected her drink might have been spiked, while Hegseth maintained that their interaction was consensual.
