Former Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz cut an unlikely figure as he attended a Pentagon press briefing Tuesday, just over a year after he was forced to drop out of contention to be the next U.S. attorney general.
Now an anchor on One America News Network, Gaetz, 43, had been a long-time MAGA ally of President Donald Trump in the House of Representatives when he was nominated to lead the Justice Department in November 2024, only to step aside a week later when it became clear that several past scandals threatened to derail his confirmation. The job ultimately went to Pam Bondi.
