Orangeburg, S.C.

Speaking with reporters after a town hall event, Newt Gingrich scoffed at a request from Mitt Romney’s campaign to release the “complete record” of the House ethics investigation of Gingrich when he was speaker.

“[Romney] doesn’t release anything, he doesn’t answer anything, and he’s even confused about whether or not he will ever release anything. And then they decide to pick a fight over releasing stuff?” Gingrich said. “I think if you go and check [online] the report of the commission on ethics was, like, 900 pages. Now, as soon as the governor reads the 900 pages, I’ll be glad to chat with him.”
