President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz as the next U.S. Attorney General has stirred anger among Democrats and even a handful of Republicans who also appear to be astonished by the choice.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two women told House Ethics Committee investigators that former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has been tapped to be attorney general in the next Trump administration, paid them for sex, and one of the women testified she saw him having sex with a 17-year-old, according to an attorney for the women.
