WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Friday that he would "strongly request" that the House Ethics Committee not release a report detailing its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.
“I’m going to request, strongly request, that the Ethics Committee not issue the report.”There is precedent for releasing ethics reports after or on the same day that a lawmaker resigns from Congress.
Johnson declined to say whether he spoke to Trump about the Ethics report.
Tom Rust, a spokesperson for the Ethics Committee, declined to comment on Johnson's remarks.
"There is bipartisan support for the Senate Judiciary Committee having access to this information," Sorbe said.
