A Look Back at Newt Gingrich’s Career

The Takeaway

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has had a long political career. But along the way, as Mitt Romney’s SuperPAC Restore our Future gleefully points out, he accrued 84 ethics complaints during his tenure in the House, and accepted a $1.6 million donation from Freddie Mac. But that’s not the whole list of Gingrich’s malfeasance, public or personal. The Takeaway looks back at the triumphs – and scandals – that have trailed him.
