Rep. Matt Gaetz, one of Trump's fiercest defenders, set off a dust-up during the Judiciary Committee's markup of articles of impeachment when he brought up Hunter Biden's history of substance abuse, prompting a Democratic colleague to scold him
Rep. Matt Gaetz, one of President Donald Trump's fiercest defenders, set off a dust-up during the Judiciary Committee's markup of articles of impeachment when he brought up Hunter Biden's history of substance abuse, prompting a Democratic colleague to scold him.
The Florida congressman, a firebrand on the right, was quick to note that he was not looking to pass judgment on Biden. Rep. Hank Johnson then spoke up to oppose Gaetz’s amendment, but not before taking a pointed swipe at his colleague’s own run-in with the law. Gaetz was arrested in 2008 on suspicion of DUI, declining a breathalyzer test and a field sobriety test,. The charges against Gaetz were later dropped, and he was never convicted.
“I don't know what members, if any, have had any problems with substance abuse, been busted in DUI, I don't know,” he continued, shooting a glance in Gaetz’s direction. “But if I did, I wouldn't raise it against anyone on this committee. I don't think it's proper.”
