A transition official has described former Rep. Matt Gaetz's recent meetings with US senators on Capitol Hill as 'productive.' Gaetz, who is Trump's pick for attorney general, is actively engaging with senators as part of the confirmation process.
According to the official, Gaetz has been listening to senators' thoughts on the role of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the confirmation process. The meetings have provided an opportunity for Gaetz to gain insights and feedback from senators as he seeks their support for his confirmation.
During his time on Capitol Hill, Gaetz is accompanied by Vice President-elect JD Vance. The duo is working together to build support for Gaetz's confirmation in the Senate.
Despite facing a House ethics investigation related to allegations of sexual misconduct, Gaetz remains focused on engaging with senators and addressing any concerns they may have regarding his nomination as attorney general.
The transition official expressed Gaetz's enthusiasm for meeting with more senators in the coming days to further discuss his vision for the DOJ and to address any questions senators may have.
As the confirmation process unfolds, Gaetz is committed to engaging with lawmakers and stakeholders to ensure a thorough and transparent review of his qualifications for the role of attorney general.
