Outspoken Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his nomination for attorney general amid a House investigation into alleged sex-and-drug-fueled parties he attended several years ago. Gaetz's decision to withdraw is likely a relief for many Republican senators who viewed him as too controversial for the job. The House Ethics Committee voted against releasing the contents of its investigation into Gaetz, but some details have already been reported, including allegations of paid sex with underage women. Gaetz, who is not an experienced attorney, has been a strong defender of former President Trump and could still return to the House after winning reelection in November.
