Vice President-elect JD Vance has been working the phones reaching out to senators trying to gauge support for Matt Gaetz , sources say.

Gaetz resigned from the House shortly after Donald Trump announced his attorney general nominee on Thursday .

Senate Republicans say Gaetz faces major hurdles on the path to confirmation.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says House Ethics Committee shouldn't release Gaetz report.

Sen. John Thune says he expects the Senate Judiciary Committee to do its job.

Thune was just minutes into his election victory on Wednesday when Trump announced his controversial attorney general pick in Gaetz .

There are already questions about Trump 's other nominees, including Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of health and human services.
