President-elect Donald Trump made a surprising announcement today by selecting Rep. Matt Gaetz to serve as his attorney general. Gaetz, a staunch supporter of Trump and a Republican from Florida, has been known for his vocal criticism of Democrats and his loyalty to the outgoing president.

The meeting, which was said to be cordial, focused on the transition of power and the ongoing efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Both men pledged to work together for the good of the country, despite their previous differences on the campaign trail.
