Meet the wife of Donald Trump’s attorney general pick, Matt Gaetz: Ginger Luckey’s brother is the billionaire founder of Oculus VR, and she met Gaetz at Mar-a-Lago in 2020

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general has shocked many in Washington: the man going for the job, Matt Gaetz, has been investigated for allegedly having sex with a minor, illegal drug use and receiving improper gifts, according to CNN. Trump has confirmed his intention to nominate Gaetz for the job, which means he will oversee the Justice Department, America’s top law enforcement agency.

If approved by the Senate, Gaetz would be responsible for the very evidence used to investigate him, according to CNN. Gaetz has consistently denied any wrongdoing and the investigation is closed. But as details have resurfaced, Gaetz’s personal life has come under the spotlight.

In 2021, amid the investigation into his actions, Gaetz married Ginger Luckey, as reported by the Daily Mail. The couple enjoyed a 10-month romance, which culminated in their engagement in December 2020. “The Attorney General will look good on you my love,” Luckey gushed on X last week.
