Matt Gaetz

Tonight, I am demanding that the Department of Justice and the FBI release the audio recordings that were made under their supervision and at their direction, which will prove my innocence and that will show that these allegations aren't true. They're merely intended to try to bleed my family out of money.

And this former Department of Justice official tomorrow was supposed to be contacted by my father so that specific instructions could be given regarding the wiring of $4.5 million as a down payment on this bribe.

What's up, Deb and Terry? This is Matt Gaetz. I wanted to wish you a very special happy Thanksgiving. You've got a terrific son-in-law, Eric, and I know your daughter, Kelly, is very happy, along with Eric, to be there enjoying your terrific cooking in Utah. Thanks for being in the fight. Thanks for backing President Trump and all of our efforts to save the country.

It's, you know, it's a time of Thanksgiving, but I'm giving thanks to all the opportunities we have ahead for our country to get our trade policies right, to stop the invasion at our southern border, to get the economy humming. And I have not gotten over the shock and excitement from this election. I thought we were going to win, but I had no idea.
