WASHINGTON, DC — Today, in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to nominate Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz (FL-1), government watchdog Accountable.US released the following statement.

The role of the U.S. Attorney General requires a serious individual who will uphold the rule of law for all Americans. Matt Gaetz is not a serious choice. All this nomination demonstrates is that the President-elect prioritizes loyalty to himself above all else, not what is good for the nation.”

Tony Carrk, Accountable.US Executive Director

Yesterday, Accountable.US launched the Trump Accountability War Room to scrutinize President-elect Donald Trump’s appointments, executive actions, and legislative agenda. The first Trump administration was littered with officials using their offices for self-enrichment, all while gutting protections for Americans and harming families. Now, with the help of Project 2025, we face even more threats to American rights and freedoms and another four years of abuses of power and conflicts of interest.
