Would you believe it? Mike Johnson from Louisiana thinks Matt Gaetz, who Trump picked as Attorney General, is super smart. Like, one of the smartest people in Washington smart. He even worked with Gaetz for eight years. Johnson says Gaetz knows a lot about how the Department of Justice has been used unfairly. He thinks Gaetz will make changes, which is why some people in Washington are upset.

Gaetz has been under investigation for a while. The House Ethics Committee was looking into allegations about him, like sexual misconduct and drug use. But Gaetz says he didn't do anything wrong. The Department of Justice also said he didn't break any laws. When Trump picked Gaetz for Attorney General, Gaetz quit the House. Now, the Ethics Committee can't keep investigating because they don't have power over former members.

People are wondering what will happen with the Ethics Committee's report on Gaetz. Some Republican senators want the Senate Judiciary Committee to see it. Johnson thinks the Ethics Committee shouldn't release the report because they only have power over current members. He also thinks it could be dangerous if the committee could investigate people who aren't in the House anymore.

Johnson says Gaetz is exciting because he'll fix the Department of Justice, which really needs help.
