Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is urging the House Ethics Committee not to release its yearslong investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), reversing course from earlier this week when he told reporters he would not get involved.

“I’m going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report because that is not the way we do things in the House,” Johnson told reporters Friday. “The rules of the House have always been that a former member is beyond the jurisdiction of the Ethics Committee, and so I don’t think that’s relevant.”
