Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Rep. Scott Perry said he had been asked for his “view” on introducing a censure resolution against Wild, who will leave Congress in January, amid reports that she was at the center of leaks regarding the Gaetz investigation. It’s unclear whether Republicans would move forward with such a measure, which would need to be brought to the floor next week before Congress adjourns and Wild is no longer a House member.
“House Ethics discussions are confidential, and House Ethics has no jurisdiction over individuals not serving in Congress. There must be consequences for ‘leaking,’” Perry. “How can anyone have any faith in the House Ethics Committee when one of its own members are engaged in unethical practices.”on Friday that he was at the center of conversations on the House floor concerning the subject earlier this week.
A Wild spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment by press time, but her office previously said her absence was due to frustration with the committee’s handling of the Gaetz report. “Rep. Wild was frustrated by the manner in which the report was handled and didn’t feel it was fruitful to participate in any further meetings on its ‘potential’ release. Characterizing it as anything more is inaccurate.
Those failed votes make it almost certain the report will never see the light of day as House leadership will appoint new members to the Ethics Committee next year and Gaetz will no longer be in contention for a Trump Cabinet position or elected office. However, if the Florida Republican does run for office in the future, some Republicans have suggested they would want to see the report released.
