US correspondent James Matthews outside the White House discusses Donald Trump’s controversial appointments to his top team. He mentions the appointment of Matt Gaetz as attorney general, describing him as a firebrand and strong Trump supporter. Gaetz’s main task will likely be handling any criminal prosecutions against Trump. However, Gaetz himself is facing controversy due to a House ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and violation of sex trafficking laws. Despite a previous investigation by the Department of Justice, no charges were brought against him. Matthews also mentions Trump’s promise of retribution against those who pursued legal action against him and possibly against President Biden. The appointments and controversies surrounding Gaetz are seen as shocking and concerning, reflecting Trump’s ongoing influence and power in US politics.
