Following his resignation from Congress and withdrawing as President-elect Donald Trump’s Attorney General nominee, former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz now has a new gig as the newest prime time weeknight host at One America News.
Gaetz will host political talk show “The Matt Gaetz Show” every weeknight at 9 p.m. ET beginning in January, OAN announced Tuesday.
“Matt Gaetz has earned a reputation as a relentless champion of conservative values, taking on entrenched Washington bureaucrats and exposing government overreach,” a release said. “His knack for connecting with grassroots Americans and shaking up the status quo makes him a dynamic and timely addition to OAN’s team.”
Gaetz’s move to OAN comes after his Attorney General nomination was plagued by allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. A House Ethics Committee was investigating the allegations, but that investigation was thrown into disarray when Gaetz resigned from Congress after being nominated.
The allegations center around Gaetz allegedly paying women for sex and having sex with a 17-year-old in 2017, attorneys representing the women have told multiple media outlets.
Gaetz has vehemently denied the allegations, and the Department of Justice declined to bring any charges against Gaetz after a three-year investigation. Prosecutors reportedly had credibility concerns with two witnesses.
In a video announcing his new show, Gaetz said the best information and reporting about the incoming Trump administration will come from “his team.”
“I’ve got the sources, I’ve got the insights, and there is such a spirit of optimism to unlock the opportunity of America,” Gaetz said. “There is no place that is going to cover it better than One America News.”
