Fox News has confirmed it has no plans to hire Rep. Matt Gaetz
“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,” the network said in a statement.
The statement was issued after a report in The Daily Beast Wednesday that Gaetz was talking with people at Fox News, One America News Network and Newsmax about possible jobs. Axios first reported Tuesday that Gaetz was considering retiring from Congress and possibly working at Newsmax.

The Fox statement also comes on the heels of news that Gaetz is being investigated by the Department of Justice over an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl.
