The elected president of the United States, Donald Trump, has appointed Congressman Matt Gaetz, known for being a member of the hardline wing of the Republican Party, as the country's attorney general. Trump praised Gaetz's qualities, highlighting his background as a lawyer from the William & Mary Law School and his commitment to reforming the Department of Justice.
In his statements, Trump noted that Gaetz will work on protecting the borders of the United States, dismantling criminal organizations, and restoring citizens' trust in the Department of Justice. The elected president emphasized Gaetz's role on the House Judiciary Committee, where he contributed to discrediting reports about alleged Russian interference and revealed cases of government corruption.
According to Trump, the far-right congressman will be responsible for eradicating systemic corruption in the Department of Justice and will return this institution to its original mission of combating crime and defending democracy and the constitution.
