Embattled Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz slammed CNN’s false report and demanded a retraction. Over the weekend, CNN reported that Rep. Gaetz has requested and subsequently denied a meeting with former president Trump. However, Gaetz says he was never denied the meeting because he never requested one in the first place.

Fox News reports:

“This is a total lie. I am on a pre-planned vacation with my fiancée. I was welcomed at Trump Doral days ago. No such meeting was denied nor sought,” he tweeted. He called out the article’s “unnamed sources” and asked the network when he could expect a retraction.

The CNN report cited “two people familiar with the matter” who said aides of the former president denied a request from Gaetz and urged Trump to avoid getting involved in the scandal. The report included a statement from a Gaetz spokesman denying the congressman requested a meeting this past week.

Jason Miller, a close aide to Trump, called the CNN report “complete fake news.”

“No such scheduling or meeting request was ever made, and therefore, it could never have been declined. Take note that this story has zero on-the-record sources. It’s literally made-up,” he added.

Gaetz has harshly denied the accusations of sexual misconduct and sex trafficking after reports leaked that the Republican has been under investigation by the DOJ. Recently, reports emerged that Gaetz previously sought a preemptive pardon from Trump however both men have refuted the claim.
