In a segment regarding the decision of the House Ethics Committee to release its report on Matt Gaetz, CNN This Morning mocks Gaetz for admitting that he partied hard into his 30s, but is now a different person.

On CNN This Morning, former Biden comms director Kate Bedingfield says that Biden's pardon on Hunter was justified, given Trump's alleged plans to go after opponents in the new administration.
