“Late Present” host Stephen Colbert is attempting to determine why Republican lawmakers are abruptly working so exhausting to guard former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), whom President-elect Donald Trump tapped to function lawyer basic.
Republicans on the Home Ethics Committee this week blocked the discharge of a report on allegations Gaetz paid for intercourse and medicines and that he had intercourse with a minor, which he has denied.
That led Colbert to at least one key query in regards to the report, which stays sealed.
“What I need to know is: What the hell is it that they don’t need us to see?” Colbert requested. “As a result of the stuff we already know is so horrible that if Gaetz ever strikes to a brand new neighborhood, he’s gonna must introduce himself door to door.”
The vote blocking the discharge of the report was alongside social gathering traces.
“And when Gaetz heard the phrases ‘social gathering traces,’ he confirmed up with a rolled-up hundred-dollar invoice,” Colbert stated.
