House Speaker Mike Johnson has defended his actions in blocking the release of the House Ethics Committee report regarding former Congressman Matt Gaetz. Johnson clarified that he has not discussed the matter with President-elect Donald Trump or his advisors, emphasizing that the focus has been on other priorities such as filling the Cabinet.
Johnson stated, 'He respects the House and the parameters, and he knows that I would not violate any of those rules or principles, so it has not been discussed.'
