Shortly after making some critical remarks towards Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee, Matt Gaetz, The View co-host Sunny Hostin was forced to read an awkward legal memo about allegations made against the now-former Florida congressman.

“How could you nominate someone with allegations of child trafficking or trafficking across state lines and having sex with a 17-year-old?” The View co-host stated. “My understanding, further on in the interview, they discuss the fact that once he finds out that she’s 17, he stops having sex with her.”

However, less than five minutes later, Sunny Hostin was handed a legal note from The View production team.

Hostin replied, “I do, Whoopi, thank you.”

She then read the legal memo out loud

“Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations,” she bluntly shared. “Calling the claims ‘invented’ and saying in a statement to ABC News that, ‘This false smear following a three-year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism.”

Hostin went on to add, “The [Department of Justice] investigation was closed with no charges being brought.”
