4. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Tucker, The Associated Press:
“Matt Gaetz is a firebrand conservative loyalist who has used his seat in Congress to reliably defend Donald Trump during the course of multiple investigations and to echo his claims that the Justice Department is weaponized against him. In fact, Donald Trump has few defenders in Congress as reliable as Gaetz has been.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Tucker, The Associated Press:
“We’ve seen Gaetz time after time lash out at different representatives of the Justice Department, whom he perceives as being biased for some reason against Donald Trump. And so he now has been selected to lead the same Justice Department that he has repeatedly condemned and railed against. One of the things that I think is really interesting to note about the appointment announcement, the selection announcement, is the virtues that Trump cites. And chief among those is essentially Gaetz’s loyalty to him and the fact that he has been a defender of him during the course of the Russia investigation, and the fact that he shares, in Trump’s view, Trump’s desire to sort of dismantle elements of the Justice Department and really start fresh.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Tucker, The Associated Press:
“But you can imagine that there would be concern among existing career attorneys, given Gaetz’s claim that the Justice Department needs to be overhauled. And so, in terms of what that means for career employees, career agents, career lawyers, all of that remains to be seen.”

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Tucker, The Associated Press:
“Matt Gaetz has faced a couple of different investigations in recent years arising from the same allegations. The Justice Department examined allegations that he had a sexual encounter with an underage woman. That investigation was closed without any charges. And the House Ethics Committee has separately embarked on an investigation that remains pending.”

STORYLINE:
President-elect Donald Trump chose Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida to serve as his attorney general on Wednesday, bypassing more experienced options in favor of a loyalist who has built a national reputation as a disruptor and whom Trump has tasked with dramatically overhauling the Justice Department.
