Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's embattled pick to lead the U.S. Department of Justice as attorney general, said Thursday he was withdrawing his name from consideration to lead the federal law enforcement agency. Gaetz' decision comes after meeting with U.S. senators, many of whom had expressed misgivings about Gaetz, who made enemies in Congress, including for his role in ousting former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The Senate must vote to confirm Trump cabinet nominees. Republicans on the House Ethics Commitee blocked the release of a long-awaited ethics report on Gaetz earlier this week despite some senators calling for its release.

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will nominate Matt Gaetz as U.S. Attorney General. The polarizing MAGA congressman from Florida engineered the ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and is the subject of an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation for sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. We talk about the implications of Gaetz's nomination and what the Department of Justice could look like under a second Trump term. Guests: Benjamin Wittes, editor-in-chief of Lawfare; senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institute Claudia Grisales, congressional correspondent, NPR

Former US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reacts Donald Trump's nominations so far, saying Gaetz appointment doesn't matter as he won't be confirmed. He also says the nominations will send a clear message to the world that America won't be pushed around. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Day in Legal History: Guiteau Stands Trial for AssassinationOn November 14, 1881, Charles Guiteau stood trial for assassinating President James A. Garfield. Garfield had been shot by Guiteau in July of that year but succumbed to his injuries months later, largely due to medical mismanagement. At the time, sterilization practices were not widely understood or practiced, and Garfield's doctors repeatedly probed his wound with unwashed instruments and hands, leading to a fatal infection. Despite the role of inadequate medical care, Guiteau was held fully responsible for the president's death, setting a notable precedent in criminal law.Guiteau's defense centered on claims of insanity, arguing that he believed he was acting on divine command to remove Garfield. His erratic behavior in court, which included singing, reciting poetry, and accusing his defense attorneys of incompetence, underscored his unstable mental state. However, nineteenth-century legal standards for insanity were narrow and rarely accepted by courts. The prosecution argued that Guiteau understood the wrongfulness of his act, and he was ultimately found guilty and sentenced to death.The case spotlighted serious deficiencies in the legal system's treatment of mental illness and brought attention to the need for clearer guidelines on the insanity defense. It also ignited a broader conversation on the role of medical practices in causation, as some questioned whether Guiteau could be solely responsible for Garfield's death. Guiteau's trial and conviction marked one of the first high-profile uses of the insanity defense in the United States and influenced subsequent legal reforms regarding both mental health assessments and standards of criminal responsibility.President-elect Donald Trump has named Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Republican congressman with a face that might terrify even the devil himself, as his nominee for attorney general. Gaetz, who has previously faced scrutiny from the Justice Department over sex trafficking allegations, will replace current leadership to help Trump “end Weaponized Government” and enact an aggressive conservative agenda. Gaetz, who resigned from Congress immediately, is known for his unconventional political moves, including his role in ousting former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and for his call to dismantle federal agencies like the FBI. His appointment has already triggered controversy, with Senate Republicans like Lisa Murkowski expressing skepticism about his qualifications and intentions. Gaetz's background has raised security clearance concerns, given the history of investigations into his conduct.The nomination aligns with Trump's stated intentions to reshape the Justice Department, positioning the attorney general as crucial to plans for mass deportations, pardons of January 6 rioters, and prosecutorial retribution. Gaetz's legal experience consists mainly of work at a Florida law firm before he entered politics, though he has recently championed populist stances on antitrust enforcement, supporting the Federal Trade Commission's fight against noncompete clauses and cheering the Justice Department's antitrust case against Google. Gaetz's nomination fuels concern among former Justice Department officials, who fear that he could further politicize an institution traditionally independent from White House influence.Trump taps firebrand congressman Matt Gaetz for attorney general | ReutersIn the corruption trial of former U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, prosecutors revealed that jurors were mistakenly shown unredacted evidence during deliberations. However, they argued this error does not warrant overturning the conviction, asserting that the evidence against Menendez was overwhelming. Menendez, a former New Jersey senator, was convicted in August of corruption charges that included accepting bribes like gold bars and cash, allegedly in exchange for political favors. He has maintained his innocence and plans to appeal. The Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office indicated that both the defense and prosecution missed the unredacted material during trial, emphasizing that it likely did not affect the jury's guilty verdict on all 16 counts, including wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and illegal foreign agency activities. Menendez, once a senior figure in the Senate as the chair of the foreign relations committee, now faces sentencing in January with a potential for decades in prison.Bob Menendez jury was mistakenly shown improper evidence, prosecutors say | ReutersGary Wang, former chief technology officer of FTX, is assisting federal prosecutors by developing software to detect fraud in both stock and cryptocurrency markets. Wang, who previously wrote the code allowing ex-FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried to siphon billions from FTX customers, has been cooperating with the government since FTX's collapse. Prosecutors are asking for leniency in Wang's upcoming sentencing, highlighting his proactive efforts to prevent similar crimes. His new tool, details of which remain confidential to protect its effectiveness, is valued by prosecutors for its potential in identifying financial crimes. This cooperation follows Bankman-Fried's recent 25-year prison sentence for fraud and misuse of $8 billion in customer funds, while other former FTX associates, like Caroline Ellison and Nishad Singh, received lighter sentences due to their cooperation. Wang, the last of Bankman-Fried's close associates awaiting sentencing, was instrumental in exposing the scheme by testifying that Bankman-Fried directed him to alter FTX's code to grant Alameda Research unauthorized access to customer funds.Bankman-Fried lieutenant builds fraud detection tool for prosecutors | ReutersA federal appeals court has struck down a New York law that heavily restricted antiques dealers from selling or displaying ivory and rhinoceros horn items, ruling it unconstitutional. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the law, which limited ivory content in antiques to less than 20%, overstepped by restricting dealers' First Amendment commercial speech rights. Judges argued that the law prevented dealers from communicating important details about legally marketable items, deeming this an excessive speech restriction. While federal law already restricts ivory sales under the Endangered Species Act, it allows for goods with up to 50% ivory, whereas New York's stricter limit of 20% was intended to curb poaching of endangered species. However, the court ruled that New York's law also blocked the sale of items permitted in interstate and international trade, making it too broad. The decision was a setback for animal rights groups that supported the law to protect vulnerable wildlife, although the Humane Society noted that New York could still enforce the law against local buyers.New York ivory ban for antiques dealers voided by US appeals court | ReutersLaw firm revenue surged nearly 12% in the first three quarters of the year, driven by increased demand for legal services and higher productivity, according to Citi's law firm banking group. The top 50 law firms saw especially notable gains, with revenues up 14%, demand growth at 3.6%, and productivity rising by 2.9%. Gretta Rusanow from Citi's Law Firm Group highlighted 2023 as potentially one of the strongest years for the industry, citing steady demand momentum quarter by quarter. Industry-wide demand rose by 3.2%, with lawyer productivity improving as headcount growth slowed to 1.3%, returning to historical norms. Expense growth was 7.5%, with overhead costs increasing by 8.2% and compensation expenses by 6.7%. Legal services demand spanned diverse practice areas, notably in litigation, regulatory issues, investment management, and bankruptcy. Although transactional demand has been quiet, Rusanow anticipates a rebound in mergers and acquisitions activity. Law firms also invested in technology upgrades, including new practice management tools and generative AI, which contributed to higher expenses. Law Firm Revenue Soars 12% as Lawyers Get Back to Being Busy This is a public episode.

When you think about election organizing at Harvard, a few words might come to mind. Privilege. Access. Money. The Harvard College Democrats are backed by a federally recognized PAC. Student leaders at the Harvard Republican Club have dined with former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and pulled off speaking events with multi-billionaire Peter Thiel. Talk to them, and you'll find that the name-dropping is constant, and the access is unparalleled. They'll also tell you that all of it — the organizing, the networking — is available to any Harvard student who wants in on the action. You'll get the sense that Harvard's run-up to Election 2024 goes far beyond the confines of campus. It takes students to the Republican National Convention and Democratic National Convention — to Pennsylvania, to Georgia — rubbing shoulders with some of America's most powerful politicians, in some of the election's most high-profile moments. Today on Newstalk, in an election special, we talk to the presidents of the Harvard Republican Club and Harvard College Democrats about the world of election organizing at Harvard.

Many Americans watched in surprise as former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted from his position last October — becoming the first speaker in history to be ousted after eight members of his own party joined forces with Democrats to remove him from his position. Nearly one year later, the former Speaker sits down to discuss what his life is like after the speakership, how House Speaker Mike Johnson has handled inheriting a narrow House majority, and why he's remained in Republican politics despite the personal attacks he faced.   They also discuss how Hurricane Helene has devastated communities in the Southeast, including Trey's, and send their thoughts and prayers to those who have been impacted.   Follow Trey on X: @TGowdySC Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump, and most of his allies, have insisted that his legal problems are going to make him MORE popular with voters this year. But according to a new analysis, that's not even close to happening. In addition to all the polls showing that a conviction will hurt him, even without a conviction he's seeing voters turn against him as the current trial continues. This is a bad trend for Trump who has seen his poll numbers continually shrink since the start of the year. Kari Lake spent much of the year 2023 hanging around Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump to the point where reports last summer claimed that she had basically "moved in" to the resort. But a new report says that the relationship between Lake and Trump began to sour late last year after Trump started getting sick of her and her election lies. Trump believes that Lake is blowing her chance to win the Arizona senate seat, and essentially booted her out of Mar-a-Lago. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem was widely seen to be at the top of Donald Trump's short list of potential VP picks up until Friday. On Friday, The Guardian published an excerpt of Noem's new book where she actually boasted about killing her family's dog that she says she "hated." The story immediately went viral, and people on the Left and Right both condemned Noem for her account of what happened - which Noem said in the book proves that she can make the tough decisions. And the only threat to Matt Gaetz's seat in Congress comes from within his own Party, as his district is firmly Republican. And that's why Gaetz went absolutely ballistic when a primary challenger emerged against him at the last minute. Right before the filing deadline, a Republican filed to challenge him in his primary, and Gaetz thinks this is a conspiracy set up against him by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!

The House passed a four-bill $95 billion foreign aid package over the weekend that includes $60 billion in additional aid for Ukraine. The bill could cost House Speaker Mike Johnson his job. The aid package passed in a 311-112 vote with the unanimous support of Democrats and 101 Republicans voting in favor of the bill.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., threatened to introduce a motion to remove Johnson, R-La., from his position as speaker if he brought the funding for Ukraine to the House floor for a vote. “I think she's looking at the totality of what's come across the floor over the past few months, and she is expressing extreme disappointment with that,” Ryan Walker, executive vice president of Heritage Action for America, says of Greene. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation, of which Heritage Action is the grassroots arm.)Greene left Washington at the end of last week without introducing the motion to vacate the speaker but said during an interview Sunday on Fox News that she still planned to try to oust Johnson. “Mike Johnson's speakership is over,” Greene said on “Sunday Morning Futures,” adding, “He needs to do the right thing—to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn't do so, he will be vacated.” Less than one year after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the role, Capitol Hill is bracing for the potential of another speakership battle when Congress returns to Washington next week. Walker joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the reason for the sharp divide in Congress over the foreign aid package and the likelihood Johnson will face removal as speaker. Walker also explains where Congress is getting the money to send to Ukraine. Enjoy the show! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Congress agreed to a new spending bill this week to avoid a government shutdown. The bill relies on the same type of structured deadlines that cost former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy his party's support and eventually his job. New Speaker Mike Johnson chose not to fight for the spending cuts and border funding that Republicans sought in order to get the bill through the House. Will his willingness to compromise lead him down the same path? Israel's war against Hamas has strong backing from President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. There's also been plenty of public support, as seen from a large rally in Washington, D.C. this week. But rising civilian deaths in Gaza have led to calls for a ceasefire from Democratic voters as well as members of the State Department. Can Biden successfully navigate the growing rift over the conflict on the left? Plus, reversing climate change will require forward-thinking solutions. The president of the Good Food Institute talks about his innovation to soften meat production's impact on the planet.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) and his coalition of eight Republican colleagues made history when they successfully booted Kevin McCarthy from his role as speaker of the House. For Jason, Gaetz's coterie of congressmen reminded him of the biblical story of Gideon and his army of 300 and provided inspiration for fighting the culture war and America's sin of idolatry. Gaetz's coup proves you don't need an overwhelming majority to effect change. “We don't need numbers to win the good vs. evil battle occurring in America. Let's boycott Super Bowl Sunday. Let's damage Super Bowl TV ratings as a means to draw attention to illegal immigration, transgenderism, the political weaponization of the Department of Justice, the unfair prosecution of January 6 defendants, COVID tyranny, the lack of election integrity, the illegality of the Federal Reserve system, diversity, equity, and inclusion destroying merit, the military, and education, the rampant lawlessness in major cities, the World Economic Forum, and ESG.” T.J.

BlazeTV contributors Jaco Booyens and Eric July join the show to discuss a wild weekend at the U.S. Capitol where Congress narrowly avoided a government shutdown. The recent stopgap funding bill did not include additional aid for Ukraine. However, it did allocate an extra $16 billion for natural disaster assistance. Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman of New York was captured on video pulling a fire alarm in a Capitol office building shortly before the vote to keep the government open. He stated that he pulled the fire alarm because he believed it would open a door that is typically accessible for votes but was locked on that specific day. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is currently facing an effort led by conservative Representative Matt Gaetz to remove him from his position. This move is driven by frustrations among Gaetz and other House conservatives who believe McCarthy has not taken sufficient action to reduce federal spending. Former President Donald Trump is currently facing a civil fraud trial in New York. Prosecutors have accused him of inflating the value of his properties significantly, by billions of dollars, in order to obtain loans from banks. One specific example mentioned is Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, which his lawyers claim is worth at least $1 billion, in contrast to the $18 million valuation suggested by prosecutors.

BlazeTV hosts Chad Prather and James Poulos join the show to discuss a new Washington Post/ABC poll that was released over the weekend, which raises concerns about Biden's re-election campaign. In an unusual turn of events, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill late Friday night that would have required judges to consider whether parents have affirmed the gender identity of their children amid custody disputes. This decision has sparked a debate: will the Democratic Party consider Newsom as a replacement for Biden in 2024? New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez believes he will be exonerated in his upcoming case, where he faces three criminal counts: conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion. He is accused of having an improper relationship with three New Jersey businessmen who allegedly paid him and his wife in exchange for using his influence in Washington, D.C. During an appearance on "Meet the Press," Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed her belief that Menendez should step down and resign. Congressman Matt Gaetz is not backing down from his calls to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy if McCarthy doesn't agree to the terms Gaetz has set for the spending bills that are crucial for keeping the country running. The country faces the possibility of a government shutdown in six days if a bipartisan agreement isn't reached at the 11th hour. A shutdown would result in millions of federal employees being placed on furlough. Today's Sponsors: Relief Factor isn't a drug, but it was developed by doctors to fight inflammation. Try it today.

Welcome aboard the Acela, listeners. Today on the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, we are taking a break from the campaign trail and heading to Washington, D.C., where there's quite a lot going on. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced last week that Republicans are opening an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. There are also just 12 days until a possible government shutdown. And some Republicans are threatening McCarthy's speakership. Politics reporter Leah Askarinam and POLITICO Playbook co-author and ABC News contributor Rachael Bade join Galen Druke to discuss. They also play a round of "Quiz of the Union," where they try to put this year's higher-than-usual number of strikes in the context of public opinion. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Biden administration worked out a deal with Iran for the release of five Iranian citizens, plus the release of 6 Billion dollars in exchange for 5 Americans detained in Iran. This Biden administration also applauded a Saudi Arabia deal on global infrastructure deal on the anniversary of 9/11. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham doesn't have the power to suspend any part of the Constitution. She can't suspend open and concealed carry across Albuquerque under an emergency health order. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced that he is initiating an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Joe Biden knew, as a matter of fact, that Hunter Biden was representing officially or even unofficially numerous foreign businesses, which is more than enough to be required to register under FARA. Joe Biden assisted his son in violating FARA, which does not require a payment of any kind and is not a specific intent crime -- a co-conspirator. The list of Biden impeachment issues is far more compelling than any information that was brought against Donald Trump. The left-wing media, Democrats, along with some Republicans, keep saying there's no evidence to conduct a Joe Biden impeachment inquiry. Three presidents have been impeached. None were convicted by the Senate. Hunter Biden has been indicted by a Grand Jury in Delaware on three Federal gun-related charges.
