Donald Trump is creating a show of force that will help define his new term as he tries to leverage Matt Gaetz into the attorney general’s office.

“In a world where there are plenty of lawyers willing to do Trump’s bidding, he chooses the candidate who has so much baggage,” Bromwich said. “He’s testing his strength and if anyone in his party has the backbone to oppose him.”

Lawmakers will meet this week to determine what to do with its report that likely includes accounts of Gaetz attending drug-fueled parties including sex with women, one of whom was underage.
