Schiff claims Senate would ‘abdicate’ responsibility by confirming Gaetz

Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) argued against confirming former Rep. Matt Gaetz as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, claiming his confirmation would be against why voters elected the former president.

Schiff suggested that Gaetz is “disqualified” from being attorney general, contending there are “credible allegations” of the Florida lawmaker being involved in “child sex trafficking” and having “no experience” in the Justice Department . However, Schiff argued the issue with Gaetz, along with the rest of Trump’s Cabinet nominees, is that the president-elect aims to establish that Congress “will not stand up to him with anything” should his nominees get confirmed.
