Rep. Matt Gaetz confirmed Monday he has been in contact with former President Donald Trump, in response to reporters’ questions whether he was seeking advice from Mr. Trump over his effort to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
But the lawmaker would not reveal the details of his conversations with Mr. Trump. “I think I’m going to keep that between the two of us,” he said.
When reporters asked Mr. Trump last weekend about Mr. Gaetz’s efforts to oust Mr. McCarthy, the former president responded, “I don’t know anything about those efforts. I like them both very much.” “The Speaker of the House was actually cutting a side deal to bring Ukraine legislation to this floor with President Biden and House Democrats,” he said. “So let me get this straight — to extend Joe Biden spending and Joe Biden’s policy priorities, the Speaker of the House gave away to Joe Biden, the money for Ukraine that Joe Biden wanted.”
