Matt Gaetz Ethics Report Stalled
ai generated text
Donald Trump has invoked a constitutional provision to make recess appointments, potentially weakening Congressional oversight of the White House. He has used this provision to appoint cabinet officials without Senate confirmation. A recent ethics panel meeting on Democratic Rep. Susan Wild's report on Matt Gaetz was attended by Democrats only, as no Republicans joined them. A House committee met behind closed doors to discuss Gaetz, but failed to reach a consensus on releasing the report.
The grave public allegations against Mr. Gaetz speak directly to his fitness to serve as the chief law enforcement officer for the federal government.
Make no mistake: This information could be relevant to the question of Mr Gaetz's confirmation as the next attorney general of the United States, and our constitutional responsibility of advice and consent.
We'll evaluate all that at the appropriate time, and we'll make the appropriate decision.
I think that if they want a speedy consideration of this nomination, we've got to have as much transparency as we can have.
He deserves a Cabinet that is loyal to the agenda he was elected to implement.
If you have concerns, that's fine. But don't make up your mind yet. Let the guy testify first.
None of these people including Matt Gaetz are nominated as a diversion to the others. He wants them. He knows what he wants, he says what he wants and he'll see it through to some conclusion.
He deserves a chance to make his argument why he should be attorney general.
I'm not going to legitimize the process to destroy the man because people don't like his politics.
Senators been giving me a lot of good advice. I'm looking forward to a hearing.
Lies were weaponised to try to destroy me.
These lies resulted in prosecution, conviction, and prison. For the liars, not me.
