NEW: Trump Says Matt Gaetz Never Asked Him For a Pardon
President Trump on Wednesday said Rep. Matt Gaetz never asked him for a pardon in response to another New York Times hit piece on the Florida lawmaker.
“Congressman Matt Gaetz has never asked me for a pardon. It must also be remembered that he has totally denied the accusations against him,” Trump said in a statement Wednesday morning.
Last month the New York Times rolled out a hit piece on Gaetz based on a selective leak from the corrupt Justice Department.
The New York Times published a hit piece on Matt Gaetz saying the Florida Congressman was under investigation for dating a 17-year-old girl.
Gaetz told Tucker Carlson that former DOJ official David McGee was trying to extort him and his family.
