Gaetz asks for pay to be withheld during potential shutdown

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz from Florida has requested in a letter to the Chief Administrative Officer of the U.S. House of Representatives to have his pay withheld until the government is funded, citing the need for separate appropriations bills to keep the government funded and not provide funds to Ukraine.
Gaetz has been vocal in criticizing Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and has threatened a motion for McCarthy to vacate the chair. He has also called for single-subject spending bills with open amendments to avoid a government shutdown.
Gaetz and other conservatives have stonewalled any stopgap measure to keep the government running, leading to the impending shutdown on Sunday.
