President-elect Trump said Wednesday that he will nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) to serve as attorney general during his second term.

Why it matters: The attorney general may be one of Trump's most important appointments. Gaetz will help lead the implementation of Trump's agenda and steer any efforts to investigate — and prosecute — the president-elect's enemies.
