Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has announced his intention to introduce legislation designed to defund the ongoing investigation of former President Donald Trump, led by special counsel Jack Smith.<\/p>\n

Gaetz made his intention clear on the recent Episode 113 of his podcast, \u2018Firebrand with Matt Gaetz.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the coming hours, in the coming days, I will be introducing legislation under my name and the House of Representatives as a freestanding bill to defund the Jacksmith investigation,\u201d said Gaetz.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, Gaetz argued that the investigation was interfering with the election process and attacking American democracy, calling it a \u201cwitch hunt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are attacking our democracy and engaging in election interference right now. The United States Congress has the capability to stop this election interference, and we must act immediately!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Aside from election interference, Gaetz cited a lack of transparency as one of the key reasons for the proposed legislation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to know who\u2019s on the Jack Smith team. You ought to be able to evaluate where they\u2019ve made political donations, what their connections are to people who have power in Washington DC,\u201d Gaetz said.<\/p>\n

He criticized the Department of Justice for its lack of response to his inquiries, stating that as a member of the Judiciary Committee, he is entitled to this information.<\/p>\n

While he acknowledged the slim chances of such a bill being signed into law under President Biden\u2019s administration or being taken up by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, he stressed that the public deserves to know where their representatives stand on this issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill they co-sponsor my legislation? I certainly hope they will,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
