we know in the first term, he famously asked for his own roy cohen, maybe he thinks matt gaetz can be that. >> trump always wanted his attorney general to be his personal defender and he holds roy cohen as the ideal lawyer. not surprisingly wanted someone like matt gaetz. i am surprised, i think others are, that he actually picks dates. we knew he would pick a maga worrier, but matt gaetz has became a character a of a maga worrier. not that he was nearly expelled from congress and could've been expelled if he stayed around. with this pick, trump is trolling the doj and rule of law, but it could have devastating consequences. you asked about perception. a republican friend of mine, also friends with matt gaetz, told me last night he thought his appointment was the worst thing to ever happen to the country. considering a country that went through the civil war, great depression, and 9/11, that is quite a state. this pick is so shocking and unserious, i think you will have a hard time getting confirms. that sound you hear is kevin mccarthy working the phones to try to defeat his top enem

news, blindsided, that's how many republicans feel about matt gaetz as the choice for the attorney general. audible gasps. here's how susan cohenhe felt when she heard this news. >> i was shocked that he has been nominated and if the nomination proceeds i'm sure there will be an extensive background check by the fbi and public hearings and a lot of questions will be asked. >> kevin kramer raising the issues explicitly about the back rent check from the fbi making it clear that many feel that would lock him before they get a deal with him. our reporter is live on capitol hill. even trying to talk to republicans tonight you were there witnessing the audible gasps and what are they telling you? >> this is going to be a rocky road to confirmation because a lot of republicans are concerned over a number of things that matt gaetz has done or said . trying to oust kevin mccarthy. the house ethics investigation into sexual misconduct something he denies as well as the defense of donald trump in the aftermath of january 6 and it goes down the line. it doesn't align with the views for the republican senators who have the votes to confirm

congressman cohen, i want to begin on the final point about everyone knows. everyone knows about matt gaetz. everyone in the house of representatives knows about him as we just heard from senator mullen. he in effect has self-confessed on the floor of the house according to what we heard. >> he had shown pictures of different girls on the house floor. there's other things in the report about the misuse of powers and funds. mra which is the congressional money that the use for a personal basis, something about a bribe. i don't know what those are about it it's something that i think needs to be looked at because those are awful activities for someone who could be the attorney general of the united states. this can also be very illustrative illustrative to congress about the ethics required in the violation of ethics that would be taking place. i don't know what it is but this is a terrible situation. there should be at least one of those but i think there's someone out there on the republican side and a couple of people who could vote because there are good people there who have values

cohen, thank you so much. just moments ago president-elect trump was asked about former congressman matt gaetz's controversialttorney general. is he thinking about rescinding that expected nomination? here's what he said next >> nah another destination wedding. >> we just got back from her sister's in napa. >> who gets married in napa? >> my daughter, who gets married someplace more expensive. my other daughter, cancun jamaica. >> why can't they use my backyard with empower, we get all our financial questions answered so we don't have to worry. >> can we get out of here? >> i thought you'd never ask. >> join 18 million americans and take control of your financial future. >> with a real time dashboard and real live conversations. >> empower. >> what's next my name is braden. >> i was five years old when i came to saint jude. i'll try and shorten down the story so i've been having these headaches that wouldn't go away. my mom, she was just crying. what? they said your son has brain cancer. backwards. it was your worst fear coming to life. >> watching your child grow up is the dream of every parent. you can join

cohen. former member of the house ethic's committee and current member of the house judiciary committee. congressman what is your reaction to that? >> reporter: we don't know what mattwe finally learned what he did. we don't know what he will do. he could come back to congress. he resigned and said something from resigning from all future congressional elections but it is not clear one can resign when they are not sworn in. this is something that i think the chairman of the ethic's committee knows. he could come back on january 3 and say, take the oath and he is a member of congress. the ethic's committee should continue and complete the report. i think when they did not have in the final report was the punishment that would have been appropriate. they would have to come up with that. i think that might be why gaetz does not come back. he could. there is no reason to dismiss it. i think they need to keep it there, this man is unpredictable. >> let's hear what congressman ivy said. >> i think it contains information that the public should have essentially if he does decide to pursue additional office if it is the congressional seat, senate seat, gub gub gubernatorial

cohen thank you so much for that. let's get more now on the trump transition. and new reaction to president elect's replacement choice of the u.s. attorney general after matt gaetz stepped aside. let's bring in cnn's kristen holmes in west palm beach florida, working her sources inside trump world kristen pam bondi already is shoring up support among senate republicans very early in this process yeah, i mean, pamela, the big question is whether or not they actually like pam bondi or whether they're just not so relieved that matt gaetz is no longer up for this office. >> i mean just a reminder here that matt gaetz was so toxic to so many people. there were republicans who were very concerned that donald trump was going to expend all of his political capital on trying to get gaetz confirmed. when they see pam bondi, they see that she still believes in some of the same things donald trump and matt gaetz do in terms of completely blowing up the department of justice in terms of moving the department of justice to be fully under the executive branch. but she is less polarizing, and they are happier with this choice. so, of course, the big question becomes, what
