‘I would do anything I had to do’
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz said he would be willing to give up his seat in the House in order to serve on the defense team of former President Donald Trump during his second Senate impeachment trial, should Trump ask him to do so.
What are the details?
During an interview on Steve Bannon’s “War Room Pandemic” show, Gaetz explained that he and other lawmakers had already floated the idea of volunteering to defend Trump, but were told by the House Ethics Committee they could not so so as sitting members of Congress.
Bannon then asked Gaetz, “Would you then step down from Congress? Would you resign in order to defend the president…the way you want to defend him?”
