JUST IN: Matt Gaetz has resigned from Congress catching Speaker Johnson "by surprise," after Trump nominated Gaetz to be the next Attorney General.

"[Gaetz] issued his resignation letter effective immediately..."

"That caught us by surprise a little bit, but I asked him what the reasoning was and he said, 'Well, you can't have too many absences.'"

"Under Florida State law, there's about an eight-week period to select and fill in a vacant seat."
