Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who is reportedly the subject of a federal investigation trying to determine whether he had sex with a minor, sought a job with Newsmax earlier this year and was rebuffed. A spokesperson for Newsmax, a far-right media outlet, told Reuters, “Newsmax has had no plans to hire Rep. Gaetz.”

In March, Axios reported that Gaetz was considering leaving Congress to pursue a career in television at Newsmax. At the time, Mediaite was told by a Newsmax spokesperson the company does not comment on talent discussions.

Last week it was reported that Gaetz is also being investigated for possible obstruction of justice. When asked if he was concerned about whether he’d be indicted, the Florida congressman simply replied, “No.”

Gaetz has denied wrongdoing and said he’s been “canceled,” and is a “wanted man by the deep state.” Joel Greenberg, a Gaetz associate and former Seminole County tax collector, is cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice as part of a plea agreement. Greenberg admitted to sex trafficking of a 17-year-old. Last month it was reported that Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend is also cooperating with federal investigators.

3. I was going to say "it's because he's ugly as hell"

...and then I went to their “host bios” page. Being ugly as hell seems to be a job requirement at that station. So we’re back to “he’s an idiot who’s been accused of some fairly major crimes.”

4. "the company doesn't comment on talent discussions".

Talent........on Newsmax.

6. Seems Consistent To Me

If they have no talent, there are no discussions on which to comment!
I think they accidentally told the truth!

"Even a broken clock is right twice a day".
