From the New York Post: “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin appeared downcast Tuesday as she was forced to read a legal disclaimer on air after blasting Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz over accusations that he had sex with a 17-year-old girl and was engaged in illegal sex trafficking.
Hostin had ranted minutes earlier about the allegations against Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to run the Justice Department.
“How could you nominate someone with allegations of child trafficking or trafficking across state lines and having sex with a 17-year-old?” Hostin asked viewers, according to a clip of the Tuesday show that was shared on X.
“My understanding, further on in the interview, they discuss the fact that once he finds out that she’s 17, he stops having sex with her,” added Hostin, a former federal prosecutor.
Three minutes later, a sobered Hostin read out the following legal notice to the audience: “Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling the claims, quote, invented and saying in a statement to ABC news that this false smear following a three year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism that DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought.”
