Rep. Matt Gaetz, who’s under federal investigation on suspicion of sex trafficking, told former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff that a preemptive pardon in the case „would be great,“ a witness told a House committee. Johnny McEntee, a White House aide during Trump’s term, testified before the panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol that Gaetz had told him in a meeting that he had raised the possibility of a pardon with then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, the reports. The Florida Republican paraphrased Gaetz as saying, „he did not do anything wrong, but they are trying to make his life hell, and you know, if the president could give him a pardon, that would be great,“ McEntee said.
