Former Congressman and failed attorney general candidate Matt Gaetz Joined Cameo The personalized video service told the Pensacola News Journal on Friday. Gaetz gets paid at least $525 per video. “I served in Congress. Trump nominated me to be US Attorney General (that didn’t work either). When I fired the Speaker of the House of Representatives,” his profile reads.

The statement came a day later Gaetz left As Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general. He announced his withdrawal on Thursday in a post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday,” he wrote. “I appreciate their thoughtful feedback and the incredible support from so many.”

“While momentum is strong, it is clear that my confirmation has become an unfair distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste with an unnecessarily protracted Washington fight, so I will withdraw my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General.”

Trump has since announced that he will nominate Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Gaetz’s decision to withdraw from contention for the role appears to be driven in part by the potential release of the House Ethics Committee’s investigation into allegations of sexual harassment and drug use against him. House Republicans voted to block the release of the report, and Gaetz has denied all allegations against him.
