The Latest: Matt Gaetz withdraws his name from consideration as Trump’s attorney general
Matt Gaetz’s decision Thursday to withdraw as Donald Trump’s pick for Attorney General resets the clock in a high-stakes race over who will control the Justice Department during the second Trump administration. And, much like the post of Treasury Secretary , the jockeying has begun. Gaetz took himself out of the process, saying his nomination “was unfairly becoming a distraction.” He faced a potentially rough confirmation process in the Senate over allegations of sexual misconduct , which he has denied. Gaetz had previously resigned from the House, so, at present, he will hold no post in the federal government. (Trump could, however, appoint him to a role that does not require Senate confirmation.) With Gaetz gone, the focus shifts to who Trump might appoint next to the AG role—although Democrats who disapproved of the Gaetz pick still aren’t likely to be thrilled. The Trump transition team did not reply to a request for comment, but here are a few of the possible contenders. Senator Mike Lee: Considered by some at one point as the leading candidate, the Utah Senator aided efforts to overturn the 2020 election. He has also spread conspiracy theories about the January 6 attack on the Capitol. That’s a big turnaround from 2016, when he didn’t even vote for Trump. Lee is currently poised to lead the Senate Energy committee next year. | Jeffrey Clark : Known best as the former assistant attorney general who pressured officials in the Justice Department to overturn Trump’s loss in 2020, Clark is currently under indictment in Georgia for his role in that election. Three months ago, a disciplinary committee in Washington, D.C., said Clark should be disbarred for two years for efforts to interfere with election results. Mark Paoletta : Appointing Paoletta to the attorney general role would draw a dotted line from the Justice Department to the Supreme Court. Paoletta represented Ginni Thomas, wife of Justices Clarence Thomas, in the House investigation of the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He also helped prepare the nominations of Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. He has a history with Trump as well, having served as general counsel for the Office of Management and Budget and has argued that Trump, as president, will have the right to dictate who gets investigated and charged. Andrew Bailey : Bailey currently serves as Attorney General of Missouri, a role he has held since 2022. In that short time, he has overseen dozens of lawsuits against the Biden administration. He recently won reelection in Missouri, but has been criticized for having too national a focus, such as his suit against the state of New York to halt Trump’s sentencing until after the election. (The Supreme Court rejected that request.) Judge Aileen Cannon : Appointed by Trump in 2020, Cannon came to the national spotlight when she dismissed all charges against him in the classified documents case in Florida. Trump has publicly thanked her for that ruling and spoken highly of her. She is currently overseeing the trial of Ryan Routh, who was accused of planning an assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a Florida golf course in September. Mike Davis : A former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, Davis has joked about assuming the AG role on social media, writing he was “too charming to get confirmed.” He played a key role in getting many judicial nominees approved during Trump’s first presidency and has served as something of a bulldog for Trump, advising former Rep. Liz Cheney and special counsel Jack Smith to “lawyer up” over their roles in the January 6 investigation and vowing a “reign of terror” upon Trump’s reelection. Stephen Miller : Miller served as a policy advisor in Trump’s first administration and has been one of the strongest advocates for mass deportations during the campaign. Trump has already named him as deputy chief of staff for policy , but with the AG role open once again, he could change his mind. Miller was a chief architect, along with new border czar Tom Homan, on the family separation policy at the border in the first administration—and as White House spokesman, regularly made unsubstantiated claims of election fraud . After departing the White House, he served as president of America First Legal , an organization of former Trump advisers.

Qatar tribune Agencies New York Wall Street’s main indexes slipped on Monday as declines in AI powerhouse Nvidia pressured tech stocks, while investors awaited a key inflation report this week. Chipmaker Nvidia lost 3.1 percent after China’s market regulator said it had opened an investigation into the company over suspected violation of the country’s antimonopoly law, sending the information technology sector down 0.4 percent. Peer Advanced Micro Devices also fell 4.2 percent as BofA Global Research downgraded its rating on the stock. A gauge of semiconductor stocks was down 0.7 percent. “A name like Nvidia is coming under pressure because of the sort of retaliatory actions of China and that is putting some pressure on the tech space,” said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth. “People are just trying to work out what they are going to do between now and year-end ... those that are positioning, are maybe thinking about taking some profit before heading into the next year.” At 11:26 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 94.95 points, or 0.22 percent, to 44,547.57, the S&P 500 lost 27.02 points, or 0.44 percent, to 6,063.25, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 96.30 points, or 0.48 percent, to 19,763.66. Comcast lost 7.6 percent after forecasting broadband subscriber losses of a little over 100,000 for the fourth quarter. That pulled down the communication services sector by 1.1 percent. Hershey jumped 12 percent to lead gainers on the S&P 500, after a report said Cadbury-parent Mondelez was exploring an acquisition of the chocolate maker. Mondelez shares were off 2.4 percent. On the data front, the consumer prices index (CPI) data due on Wednesday is among the last major datasets ahead of the Federal Reserve’s December 17-18 meeting and could influence the central bank’s monetary policy path. Bets of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the upcoming meeting shot up to more than 85 percent after data on Friday showed a rise in the unemployment rate to 4.2 percent in November, pointing to an easing labor market. A host of Fed officials including Chair Jerome Powell last week urged more caution around the central bank’s monetary policy easing path considering the resilience of the economy. Wall Street’s main indexes kicked off December on a broadly positive note, with the benchmark S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq logging gains in their first week, while the blue-chip Dow ended the week marginally lower. US equities surged in November as Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election and his party sweeping both houses of Congress raised expectations of a friendlier policy stance towards companies. Among notable movers on Monday, Workday added 6.3 percent on its planned inclusion into the S&P 500 index. Interpublic Group advanced 7.2 percent after a report said marketing conglomerate Omnicom was in advanced talks to acquire the advertising company. Omnicom shares were down 8.7 percent. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.12-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.15-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P 500 posted 18 new 52-week highs and 2 new lows while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 97 new highs and 34 new lows.

Trump promises to end birthright citizenship: What is it and could he do it?Can Trump Use the Military to Arrest Immigrants?Sri Lanka’s young innovators achieved a remarkable milestone at the prestigious Asia Pacific ICT Alliance Awards (APICTA) 2024, held in Brunei from 4 to 7 December. Competing against representatives from 17 Asia-Pacific countries, three Sri Lankan students stood out for their exceptional creativity and technological ingenuity, securing significant accolades and bringing pride to the nation. Dasindu Sithmira Mahabodhi of Sivali Central College, Rathnapura, won second place in the Junior Category, a feat that highlights his innovative prowess and dedication. Meanwhile, Sineth Daham Bandara Jayasundera from Gateway College, Colombo, and Ramiru Thehan Wijayasiriwardhane of Ananda College Colombo, earned merit awards in the Senior Category, demonstrating their exceptional talent and technical capabilities. Thisath Damiru Abeywickrama of St. Joseph’s College Anuradhapura too, participated at this competition. The Asia Pacific ICT Alliance Awards (APICTA) is one of the most respected ICT competitions in the Asia-Pacific region. Established to foster collaboration and elevate the standards of technological development across member countries, APICTA provides a platform for students, professionals, and organisations to showcase their innovative ICT-based solutions. The 2024 edition of APICTA attracted top innovators from 17 economies, including Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, and China, making the competition highly intense. Despite the challenging environment, Sri Lanka’s young talents made a significant impact, proving the country’s growing strength in ICT innovation. The students’ journey to APICTA began with the Young Computer Scientist (YCS) 2024 Competition, a program organised by the Software Chapter of Federation of Information Technology (Guarantee) Ltd. (FITIS) in collaboration with the Education Ministry and with the support of University of Colombo School of Computing. The YCS competition serves as a national platform to recognise and nurture ICT talent among school students. It encourages participants to identify real-world problems and develop practical, innovative solutions using technology. The program emphasises not only technical skills but also creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving capabilities. The success of these students at APICTA underscores the effectiveness of this initiative in creating a pipeline of globally competitive innovators. FITIS, as the apex body representing Sri Lanka’s ICT industry, has played a pivotal role in driving such programs. The organisation is committed to bridging the gap between education and industry by fostering ICT literacy and empowering the youth to excel in the digital economy. Software Chapter President Sanjaya Dayananda and Vice President Kalinga Ihalagedara attended APICTA 2024 with the students and commented on the high quality of this competition where “our students had to compete against teams from technologically highly developed countries.” Whilst congratulating the winners, FITIS Chairman Indika De Zoysa reaffirmed the association’s commitment to YCS program and highlighted the requirement of young innovators to develop country’s digital economy. FITIS Senior Vice Chairman Dr. Dayan Rajapakse also congratulated the students for their achievements. A leading ICT Education Institute ESOFT Metro Campus where Dr. Dayan is the Chairman/Managing Director, recently joined hands with FITIS, extending its support as the sponsor for the “Title Partner” for YCS competition. Each student brought forward unique and impactful projects that addressed real-world challenges: nDasindu Sithmira Mahabodhi: His award-winning project in the Junior Category utilised advanced technologies to optimise the utilisation of computer resources, when a role-playing computer game which allows users with low specs hardware and low bandwidth connectivity to experience full features of the game. nSineth Daham Bandara Jayasundera: In the Senior Category, Sineth’s project is focused on providing a solution to eliminate the wastage in electrical power consumption, using neural networks. The solution has capability to identify excessive use of electrical current by household devices enabling the owner to switch-off the device or replace it. nRamiru Thehan Wijayasiriwardhane: Ramiru’s project provides a solution to the common problem of watering home plots and school gardens without wasting the precious water. His innovative solution uses IoT technology for automatic watering based on predictive localised weather data. The system checks the soil moisture level and releases water based on predetermined moisture levels after taking into account the weather information. The achievements of these students not only highlight their individual talents but also mark a significant milestone for Sri Lanka’s ICT landscape. Their success serves as an inspiration for thousands of young Sri Lankans aspiring to make their mark in the tech industry. These victories also underscore the importance of investing in ICT education and providing platforms for young innovators to excel. As Sri Lanka continues to strengthen its initiatives like YCS and expand access to technology-driven education, the nation is poised to produce even more trailblazers in the global ICT arena. The achievement of these students in APICTA 2024 is a testament to the immense potential of Sri Lanka’s youth and a celebration of the country’s commitment to fostering innovation. With the right support and opportunities, Sri Lanka is set to shine even brighter on the global stage.
