President-elect Donald Trump's pick of Rep. Matt Gaetz as his future attorney general has sent shockwaves through the Justice Department.
has sent many Justice Department officials into a state of shock following an already tumultuous eight days since the election.
The Florida congressman, who has been an unvarnished critic of the DOJ, was recently the subject of a criminal sex trafficking investigation by the federal department he's now been tapped to lead. Others expressed doubts Gaetz would ultimately be successful in receiving confirmation from the Senate, based on the initial wave of reaction on Capitol Hill.
A major debate going on in the minds of many career officials at the moment is whether to remain in the Department of Justice for Trump's second administration.
