Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for the position of AG.
Sources told ABC News in the last few days it became clear to the Trump team that Gaetz was not going to have enough votes for a Senate confirmation with sources close to the president-elect telling ABC News "no path to 50" senators.
"President Trump will announce his new decision when it is made," Leavitt said.
Trump has announced he intends to install his top defense attorneys to the high-level roles at the Justice Department.
