Washington Post: “During a phone call with McCarthy weeks after his historic Oct. 3 removal as House speaker, Trump detailed the reasons he had declined to ask Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and other hard-right lawmakers to back off their campaign to oust the California Republican from his leadership position.”
“During the call, Trump lambasted McCarthy for not expunging his two impeachments and endorse him in the 2024 presidential campaign, according to people familiar with the conversation.”
“‘Fuck you,’ McCarthy claimed to have then told Trump, when he rehashed the call later to other people in two separate conversations.”
