Reactions came flooding in from Washington after President-elect Donald Trump stunned the political establishment by nominating Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for attorney general.

Gaetz is the latest in a string of close allies Trump has tapped to join his second administration. As someone who has called for the Justice Department to be abolished and has been investigated by the agency, the possibility he might lead the DOJ garnered backlash, celebration, and pure shock.
