Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee asked FBI Director Christopher Wray in a Nov. 20 letter to provide investigative files on former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as part of their review of his nomination for a key role in President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration.
Gaetz was nominated on Nov. 13 by Trump to serve as attorney general, a position that requires Senate confirmation. The president-elect said in the announcement that Gaetz is a “deeply gifted and tenacious attorney” who would carry out needed reforms at the Department of Justice (DOJ).
