Ginger Gaetz: “Big News Coming Next Week!”

100 Percent Fed Up

Ginger Gaetz, the wife of former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, suggested that “big news” would come next week regarding Trump’s former attorney general nomination.

“Big news coming next week!” she said, accompanied by a picture of Matt Gaetz.

Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration for attorney general to avoid being a “distraction” for President Trump after the House Ethics Committee brought prior allegations of sexual misconduct back into the spotlight.

“I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1,” Gaetz said.

“I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America,” he added.

“I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!” President Trump said.

Gaetz has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.

House lawmakers voted Thursday against releasing the Ethics Committee report into the former Florida representative.

Per NBC News:

House lawmakers voted Thursday against releasing an Ethics Committee report on an exhaustive, yearslong investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., a close ally and confidant of President-elect Donald Trump.

Democrats had forced the votes, and Republicans responded by voting to return the matter to the Ethics Committee, ending the fight over the report’s release for now. Whether it ever becomes public remains unknown.

Lawmakers voted shortly after the bipartisan Ethics Committee met privately — for a second time in as many months — about whether to make public the report on allegations that Gaetz engaged in illicit drug use and sexual misconduct with a 17-year-old girl and obstructed the House probe, among other claims.

But after 2½ hours, the committee panel did not release the report, saying in a statement that it is “continuing to discuss the matter.” Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., told reporters the committee would meet again before the end of the year.

“I’m not going to speculate on future action that the committee may take,” Guest said when he was asked whether it might still vote to release the report.

Gaetz previously confirmed he had no plans to return to Congress.

“What is next for Matt Gaetz?” Charlie Kirk asked.

“I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz responded.

“Eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress,” he added.

WATCH:

There has been speculation Gaetz may receive the nod for Florida’s vacant U.S. Senate seat.

However, Gaetz signaled his support for Lara Trump.

However, Gaetz has teased a possible run for Florida governor.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will complete his term in 2027 and is ineligible to run for a third term.

Former Florida State Rep. Anthony Sabatini said on X that “Matt Gaetz will be the next Governor of the State of Florida.”

Gaetz responded by posting a GIF of a waving Florida flag.

It remains to be seen what the “big news” is for Gaetz.
