0:00.0	Matt Gates has withdrawn his name from being Trump's nominee for Attorney General. I'm Virginia
0:06.1	Allen and this is the Daily Signals Top News in 10 for Thursday, November 21st.
0:16.0	Matt Gates has withdrawn his name as President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Attorney General.
0:27.4	Earlier this afternoon, Gates made the announcement on X.
0:30.8	Only yesterday, Gates seemed to be full steam ahead, telling reporters that he looked forward to his confirmation hearing.
0:37.6	The center has been giving me a lot of good advice. I'm looking forward to a hearing.
0:41.3	Folks have been very supportive. They've been saying we're going to get a fair process.
0:45.5	So it's a great day of momentum for the Trump vance administration.
0:50.3	So what changed? Well, Gates did meet with senators yesterday, and in his announcement, he indicated that they may have persuaded him to reconsider his nomination.

1:46.1	The controversy of the pick intensified over a House ethics investigation into Gates.
1:51.7	Trump wrote on true social shortly after Gates made his announcement.
1:56.0	The president said that he greatly appreciated the recent efforts of Gates in seeking approval to be Attorney General.
2:03.1	He was doing very well, but at the same time did not want to be a distraction for the administration,
2:09.4	for which he has much respect. So now the question is, who will be nominated to serve as Trump's
2:15.5	Attorney General? That remains to be seen, but it is worth noting that last week Trump nominated one of his
2:21.6	attorneys, Todd Blanche, to serve as Deputy Attorney General.
