BREAKING! Trump Attorney General pick Matt Gaetz says he’s withdrawing.

"I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday.  I appreciate their thoughtful feedback - and the incredible support of so many.  While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition.  There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General.  Trump's DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1. 

I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history.  I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I'm certain he will Save America."

Within the last 72 hours, USBP agents arrested 3 previously convicted sex offenders attempting to cross the southwest border. All had one thing in common, prior convictions for heinous crimes against children, including sexual abuse, rape, & aggravated sexual battery. Our agents continue to keep our communities safe.

DYK, in the last 51 days, the southern border has already arrested 20 sex offenders? Border security matters.

UPDATE: The Massachusetts Republican Party has released a blistering statement in response to these ICE Boston arrests:

“It’s appalling and disgusting that the Governor of Massachusetts and the Mayor of Boston, the largest city in our state, are prioritizing appeasing the most radical elements of their political base over the safety of Massachusetts residents. Parents across the Commonwealth are horrified that individuals charged with such serious crimes are allowed to roam free because local authorities refuse to work with ICE to remove these criminals from our streets. “Massachusetts residents have had enough. These harrowing incidents are becoming far too frequent. When our state’s top leaders go on television to proclaim that Massachusetts will protect illegal immigrants and refuse to cooperate with ICE, they send a dangerous message that invites more of this behavior into our communities. By doing so, they are complicit in the chaos that follows. It’s time for Democrats to put politics aside and work with federal authorities to end this alarming pattern in Massachusetts.”
