Gaetz Leads Charge To Upend Smith-lead Trump Investigation

Conservative columnist Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is leading the charge to defund the ongoing investigation of former President Donald Trump, led by special counsel Jack Smith.

On episode 113 of his podcast, ‘Firebrand with Matt Gaetz’, he announced his intention to introduce legislation that would end this witch hunt.

Gaetz cited a lack of transparency and election interference as two key reasons why the proposed legislation must be passed.

“In the coming hours, in the coming days, I will be introducing legislation under my name and the House of Representatives as a freestanding bill to defund the Jack Smith investigation,” said Gaetz.

In a tweet, Gaetz argued that the investigation was interfering with the election process and attacking American democracy, calling it a “witch hunt.”

“They are attacking our democracy and engaging in election interference right now. The United States Congress has the capability to stop this election interference, and we must act immediately!” he wrote.

He argued that American democracy is under attack from those conducting the investigation and urged Congress to act immediately.

The Congressman noted that as a member of the Judiciary Committee, he is entitled to information concerning who is on Smith’s team but has yet to receive a response from the Department of Justice about it.

Despite recognizing that such a bill has slim chances of being signed into law under President Biden’s administration or taken up by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Gaetz stressed that citizens deserve to know where their representatives stand on this issue:

“Will they co-sponsor my legislation? I certainly hope they will.” He urged members of Congress to show their support for defunding the investigation so citizens can confidently evaluate what action their representatives take in regards to this situation.

Spreely TV podcast host Craig Bushon noted: “by introducing legislative action against an unjust witch hunt, Gaetz is standing up for American democracy and pushing back against an opaque government system.”

Bushon continued: “In doing so, he serves as an example for other conservative leaders looking for ways to protect our nation’s core values while also upholding accountability within our government institutions.”
