"Not the way we do things": Johnson will ask Ethics Committee to bury Gaetz report

Salon  

House Speaker Mike Johnson hopes to keep a report on Donald Trump's prospective attorney general under wraps. Johnson told reporters on Friday that he's going to ask the House Ethics Committee to keep a tight lid on any of their findings from a years-long probe into former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. “I’m going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report because that is not the way we do things in the House, and I think that would be a terrible precedent to set,” Johnson said. “I believe it is very important to maintain the House’s traditions of not issuing ethics reports on people who are no longer of Congress,” Johnson said, per CNN.
