While the investigation into his conduct has been ongoing for several years, President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Gaetz to be Attorney General in the next administration brought the issue to the forefront in recent weeks. Gaetz subsequently decided to withdraw from the nomination process when it became evident that he lacked sufficient support from senators to survive a confirmation hearing.
