President-elect Donald Trump used his Truth Social account to thank Matt Gaetz Thursday after Gaetz withdrew from consideration to become Trump's attorney general.
Trump wrote:
I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!
