Matt Gaetz's Controversial Path to Confirmation Faces GOP Skepticism

Speaker Mike Johnson stated he has not discussed the House Ethics Committee report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz with President-elect Trump, despite speculation. Johnson emphasized that the report should not be released as Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress, arguing that the Ethics Committee's jurisdiction does not extend to private citizens. He maintained that his position is consistent and that the Speaker should not interfere with the committee's work. Johnson also noted that the report is incomplete and not ready for release.
