Nov. 15 (UPI) -- House Speaker Mike Johnson said Friday he opposes calls from a bipartisan group of lawmakers to release a House Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's choice for attorney general.

Senators from both parties have sought to see the results of the yearslong inquiry into Rep. Matt Gaetz. The House speaker says that would breach protocol.

President-elect Trump predicted on Wednesday that the GOP could win liberal states like California and New York in the next election — and mused about running a fourth time.
