On front next, Trump breaking news, Trump making a mockery of the Justice Department, naming

Matt Gates to be America's next Attorney General. Outrage tonight coming from Democrats and

Republicans loud and clear at this hour. Plus Tulsi Gabbard tapped for Director of National

Intelligence, the same Tulsi Gabbard, who is cast out on U.S. intelligence and repeats

Russian propaganda. And Melania Trump, MIA, snubbing the Bidens today, likely not moving back

into the White House. She really doesn't care. Do you? Let's go out front. And good evening, I'm

Aaron Burnett. Out front tonight, the breaking news, FU to America.

That's a quote from Trump's White House attorney, Ty Cobb, about the president-elect's nomination of Matt Gates to be the nation's next attorney general.

We'll be speaking to Ty in a moment. Axios tonight with a simple headline, Trump's middle finger.

And that image.

But this is a bipartisan disdain, Republicans and Democrats alike, aghast at the announcement,

which is clearly intended to mock the Office of Attorney General.

Otherwise, how to explain nominating someone who has said this about the agency he has been selected to lead?

We either get this government back on our side or we defund and get rid of,

abolish the FBI, CDC, ATF, DOJ, every last one of them if they do not come to heal.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski just moments ago calling Gates and

unserious candidate in her words and saying,

we need to have a serious attorney general and I'm looking forward to the

opportunity to consider somebody that is serious.

This one was not on my bingo card.

Well, the scandal- scandal prone conspiracy spewing Congressman

Matt Gates has one very important asset when it comes to how Trump sees him.
