Former Rep. Matt Gaetz has been calling Senate Republicans asking for a “fair shake” as he faces a long road to confirmation as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general.
Within hours of his nomination on Wednesday, Gaetz began placing calls to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, tasked with vetting his nomination at the start of the new Congress. He’s even contacted opponents including Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), who had a public falling out with Gaetz over last year’s ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
