About this episode
President-elect Donald Trump said he will nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz, (R) Florida, to be attorney general . CNBC’s Eamon Javers has the latest from Florida on the surprising selection, as Gaetz is the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation into whether he engaged in sexual misconduct. Tom Barrack, a longtime Trump ally who chaired his 2016 inaugural committee, shares his insight on the president-elect’s hiring style, the Department of Government Efficiency and expectations for Trump’s second term. Plus, the FBI raided Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan’s home and the AI version of Andrew Ross Sorkin makes a special Squawk Box appearance.
