Matt Gaetz has officially withdrawn his candidacy for the position of US Attorney General, where he was nominated by Trump.
Goetz wrote about this on his social networks on November 21.
I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday.

Earlier, information appeared in the media that many well-known representatives of the Republican Party establishment, who were dissatisfied with the decision of the elected president, insisted on this.
There is no time to waste on an unnecessary, lengthy fight in Washington. Therefore, I am withdrawing my candidacy from consideration for the position of Attorney General,” wrote Congressman Gaetz.
Trump proposed him for the post of head of the Department of Justice and US Attorney General in his administration.
Goetz is known for the fact that it was he who initiated the resignation of the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, fellow party member Kevin McCarthy, in 2023.
On February 9, 2023, 11 congressmen, led by Matt Gaetz, introduced the “Ukraine Fatigue Resolution” to the House of Representatives.
The document called on US President Joe Biden to stop providing military and financial assistance to Ukraine, as well as a call for a “peace agreement.”
Gaetz is an ardent Trumpist and a fan of all things MAGA. Maintains warm friendly relations with the controversial pro-Russian congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The violent activity of Trumpist congressman Matt Gaetz at one time led not only to the resignation of the speaker and the paralysis of Congress, but also to the suspension of the allocation of aid to Ukraine in the American budget of the new fiscal year.
