Gaetz has been leading the charge to replace McCarthy (R-Calif.) as speaker over his support for a stopgap measure to fund the government and keep it from shutting down, and for his measured approach to a potential impeachment of Biden.
Rep. Matt Gaetz has offered to give Democrats on the House Oversight Committee subpoena power in the impeachment inquiry into President Biden in exchange for backing an effort to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, The Post has learned.
The Florida Republican’s backroom proposal would potentially allow Democrats on the GOP-led panel to select which witnesses receive subpoenas in the investigation into the 80-year-old president’s involvement in his family’s overseas business dealings, and allow them to nix the subpoenas from Republican members – which could derail the probe.
“It would be devastating for the investigation for Oversight Dems to be allowed to choose whom to subpoena or to veto House subpoenas,” a source close to the inquiry told The Post.
