House Speaker Mike Johnson has come out to speak against the release of a House Ethics Committee probe on Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to be the next attorney general. The investigation in question is related to the now former Florida lawmaker allegedly having sex with a minor. Gaetz rejects any wrongdoing.
Speaking to press on Friday, Johnson said he was going to "strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report." "I do not. No, I think it's a terrible breach of protocol," Johnson added, saying "that is not the way we do things in the House, and I think that would be a terrible precedent."
