President-elect Trump and his inner circle are defending the controversial Cabinet selection of Matt Gaetz. Trump confidante Elon Musk is making a public case for Gaetz to be confirmed as attorney general. He wrote on X that Gaetz has “a big brain, a spine of steel, and an axe to grind.” Musk said the former congressman “will be our Hammer of Justice.” Meanwhile, according to several media reports and members of Congress, the president-elect is calling senators to personally urge them to support Gaetz, who has been accused of sexual misconduct.
