Matt Gaetz, the former congressman who recently had a brief tenure as President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to serve as attorney general, will host a new talk show on One America News Network, with the program set to launch in January.

The Matt Gaetz Show will be part of the Trump-supporting network’s primetime lineup, airing at 9 p.m. ET every weeknight.

Gaetz also will host a weekly podcast with Dan Ball that will launch in January.

Gaetz was briefly nominated by Trump to serve as attorney general. But Gaetz dropped out of the confirmation process amid GOP Senate opposition, with concerns over the findings in a report being compiled by the House Ethics Committee. Gaetz has denied claims that he had sexual relations with a minor.

Gaetz led the ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year. McCarthy has accused Gaetz of orchestrating his removal because he refused to work to drop the House ethics investigation.

In a statement, Gaetz said, “OAN is blazing a trail in media, embracing not just traditional news but the platforms where Americans are going—streaming, apps, podcasts, and social media. I couldn’t be more thrilled to join OAN’s forward-thinking team and be part of this revolutionary expansion.”

Gaetz was first elected in 2017 and resigned from the House shortly after his nomination for attorney general. He had been re-elected for another term in the November election, but chose not to return to Congress.

Russia blasts US transfer of $20 billion to Ukraine backed by frozen assets
"The provision by the U.S. Treasury Department...of $20 billion using income from operations of 'frozen' Russian sovereign assets essentially stolen by the G7 countries is simply robbery," a statement on the ministry website said. The statement said U.S. President Joe Biden's administration was trying "in a Russophobic frenzy to introduce as many anti-Russian sanctions as possible before it transfers power to D. Trump's team on January 20th". "Russia possesses sufficient capabilities and levers for a retaliatory seizure of Western assets within its jurisdiction, which in such a case would be used to enhance industrial potential and implement infrastructure projects in Russian regions."
