Fox News denies U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz's claim he's had discussions to join the cable news network

TheWrap

Gaetz, who made headlines last night after The New York Times reported that the Department of Justice was investigating him for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl, told The Daily Beast that he's had discussions to join Fox News, Fox Business, OAN and Newsmax. In a statement to The Wrap, however, a Fox News spokesperson said: “No one with any level of authority has had conversations with Matt Gaetz for any of our platforms and we have no interest in hiring him." This news comes after Gaetz had a bonkers interview last night on Fox News in which he tried to pull Tucker Carlson into his mess as he claimed he was the victim of an extortion plot. Carlson called the interview "one of the weirdest interviews I've ever conducted."
