GOP Rep. French Hill says it's up to House Ethics Committee to decide on releasing Gaetz report

Rep. French Hill, Republican of Arkansas, tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that "the decision is theirs" about whether the House Ethics Committee should release their report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who resigned last week after being selected by President-elect Donald Trump to be attorney general.

"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted Nov. 7, 1954, on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.

we ABSOLUTELY should have the right to know what these people are up to as we PAY them to represent US.

[teamzissou]

“Advise and consent” means that we, ALL Americans, not just the 51% who voted for Trump, rely on Congress to decide if the president’s nominees are worthy of our confidence.
These GOP Senators and Representatives must remember that they took an oath to our Constitution, NOT Trump.

[stockholm]

We paid for the report. 🇺🇸 We want to see it.
Full stop.

[vickieshephard]

We PAID for that GD report! It BELONGS to the public!

[CashMacGregor]

what if the house ethics committee doesn't have any ethics?

[neecyc]

This is why I don’t contact my congressman when there is an issue. This mf is my congressman. He’s not gonna do a thing but agree with Trump! I didn’t vote for him anyway but these folks here in AR did! He almost lost and I wish he had!

[patbrown]

America paid for this report. We WANT to see what we paid for!!

Hegseth makes all his decisions from below the waist. Unqualified, unfit to serve.

“Without facts, you can’t have truth. Without truth, you can’t have trust. Without these, democracy as we know it is dead.”

[Dave-zlky]

The American people will decide if the GOP is gaming the system. So far, yes. The Senate should just vote hell no.

[ericjohnson]

The trump allies will do everything possible to prevent the release of this report.

[lawrencecole]

Ethics are just a code, if the code is good or bad is debatable, and also the code itself is subjective; and so we'll just FOIYA it and go from there. Decide for our selves.

[robertmannel]

Typical crap from a GOP lapdog. A non answering waste of time.

[sharonhearne]

French Hill is saying virtually nothing pertinent: he is avoiding taking a stand. He is in essence waving his hand saying, “I’m talking but I really don’t want to weigh in on this.”

[blackyoshi]

I thought the Senate wasn’t doing no confirming

[karenmendheim]

I thoroughly enjoy Face the Nation, but I only get half of it on my local CBS affiliate because they cut to an NFL football preview show. 😢

[Kenneth-nx]

A convicted felon is elected leader of the united states 😂😂😂😂hahahaha

[owheydusoapsk]

We are in for 4 years of nonsense, ineptness, drama and regression.

[sundager]

Drama, drama drama, are there charges nope there’s not, is it a anonymous accusation? Yes, it is. Is it possibly politically motivated absolutely.

[tracybarhite]

If Margaret was a good journalist, she would have said that AG Garland declined to prosecute Matt Gaetz in February of 2023.
