He also noted that Matt will “secure our borders, take down criminal gangs and restore Americans’ faith and trust in the Justice Department.” “

Direct speech Trump: “On the House Judiciary Committee, which oversees the Justice Department, Matt played a key role in debunking the ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ hoax and exposing appalling and systemic corruption and government weapons.

Added: According to the publication Utah news releasethe decision is surprising because Gaetz is still under investigation by the Congressional Ethics Commission on allegations of sexual misconduct, illegal drug use and receiving “improper gifts”.

Goetz “categorically denies all allegations made by the Committee,” the Committee said in a June report on the matter.

The committee’s investigation began in April 2021 and initially included allegations that the lawmaker “distributed inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, used government identification records, turned campaign funds for personal use, and/or received a bribe or improper gratification. ” In June, the committee announced that they were no longer prosecuting those specific charges.

As of June, the commission had interviewed more than a dozen witnesses, issued 25 subpoenas and reviewed thousands of pages of documents related to the Gaetz investigation.

House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest told reporters Wednesday that if the Senate confirms Gaetz as attorney general, his committee will no longer have jurisdiction over the investigation.
