Johnson says he hasn't discussed Gaetz ethics report with Trump

House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that he has not discussed the House ethics report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz with President-elect Donald Trump. Gaetz has been nominated by Trump to be attorney general. Johnson clarified that he cannot influence the ethics committee's work and believes the report should not be released since Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress. He expressed concerns about the committee's powers over private citizens. Johnson also mentioned that the report is still in draft form and not ready for release. He emphasized that he does not have the authority to stop the report but believes it is inappropriate to disclose it.
