U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has dismissed the nomination of Met Gates, the nominee for attorney general, which has been controversial over allegations of underage sex purchases.
After observing SpaceX's test launch of the spacecraft in Texas on the 19th local time, Trump briefly answered "no" to reporters when asked if he would consider nominating the Gates nominee again.
However, he did not answer the question of how much he would try to confirm Gates in the Senate.
After Gates, who was investigated by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of underage prostitution and drug use, was nominated as attorney general, opposition is spreading not only in the Democratic Party but also in the Republican Party.
Gates was also investigated by the FBI over allegations of underage sex purchases, but he was not charged with lack of evidence.
