Lawler: Confirmation Process Will Ensure that ‘Person Confirmed to the Office of Attorney General Does Have High Ethical Standards’

RUSH EXCERPT:

LAWLER: “I think my statements on Matt Gaetz have been rather robust and public and very clear. I, obviously, am not supportive of Matt Gaetz in any way , the president has the right to nominate and go through that process and I think senators have already started raising questions about his record including, the investigations that have been underway in the house ethics committee and I believe they should have access to that information as part of the confirmation process. That is ultimately, Donald Trump has the right to nominate who he sees fit to serve in his administration and the Senate will go through the confirmation process. Obviously, given what we have seen under the Department of Justice and the Biden Administration and the law and weaponization, it is clear that individuals leading the department have the highest ethical standard and I‘m sure the confirmation process will ensure that the person confirmed to the office of attorney general does have high ethical standards.”
