Trumps DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.

I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history.

The committee held off after Gaetz resigned from Congress following Trump tapping him to lead the Justice Department.

Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing.
