The choice of Matt Gaetz to lead the Justice Department was met with skepticism, as some lawmakers described him as not a serious candidate amidst ongoing ethics investigations.
Trump's selection of vocal allies for key positions demonstrates a desire to disrupt established Washington norms, testing Senate Republicans' resolve during confirmation processes.
While Gaetz's nomination raises significant concerns, other controversial choices like Pete Hegseth for defense and Tulsi Gabbard for intelligence indicate a broader trend of unconventional picks.
Maggie Haberman noted that Gaetz's nomination represents both a challenge for confirmation hearings and a reflection of Trump's strategy to shake up traditional governance.
