President-elect Trump picked Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for attorney general for one, big, telling reason: Gaetz will proudly do the dirty work on controversial legal topics that others won’t.
Why it matters: Get used to this. It’s your future foretold: On some topics, Trump wants to seem reasonable. On others — like anything related to his suspicion of a hostile “deep state” — he demands his own personal, controllable wrecking ball.
Gaetz, 42, is wrecking ball, head to toe. Oh, and arguably the most despised one among elected Republicans. But Trump doesn’t care, advisers say.
- Republicans privately question whether Gaetz will be confirmed by the Senate. But that might not keep him from being attorney general, the most powerful law enforcer in the land.
Behind the scenes: A powerful MAGA insider who talks often to Trump told us the reason he picked Gaetz is simple: “He likes him.”
- Trump wants to “stop s–t like this,” the insider said, texting a news clipreporting the FBI early Wednesday raided the SoHo apartment of Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan, seizing his phone and electronics. (Details from Dan Primack.)
- Gaetz’s selection set off outrage among lawmakers in both parties. But the insider predicted that “if he can make it to January, Gaetz will be confirmed.”
The big picture: Countless Republicans trashed Gaetz before and after his shocking nomination. His House colleagues’ parting gift: a quick leak to Punchbowl that Gaetz was about to get hit with a damning House Ethics Committee report. The subject of the report: illegal drug use and sexual misconduct.
- Gaetz resigned his Florida seat Wednesday, just before the Ethics Committee was set to hold a pivotal meeting on the Gaetz investigation. Gaetz’s resignation ends the wide-ranging probe, Axios’ Andrew Solender reports.
Gaetz convinced Trump that he’s simply a victim of the same “deep state” that went after him. That’s Trump’s love language.
- “For two years,” the N.Y. Times reports, “the Justice Department looked into allegations that he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and possibly violated federal sex trafficking laws. The department closed its investigation last year without filing any chargesagainst Mr. Gaetz.”….
