U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, 42, as his nominee for attorney general, a position that oversees the Department of Justice and serves as the nation’s chief prosecutor.
Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, highlighting Gaetz’s experience as a lawyer and his role on the House Judiciary Committee.

He also suggested that Gaetz’s nomination aligns with his broader plan to overhaul government institutions and address what he calls the “weaponization” of the Justice Department against his administration—a claim Trump reiterated in Wednesday’s statement.
“Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System,” Trump wrote in his statement.
“Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”
A Trump loyalist, Gaetz celebrated his nomination on social media, calling it an “an honor to serve as President Trump’s Attorney General”.
