It doesn't change the fact that he told them a stupid lie with that $1 bill story. Didn't you see that Enzo and Hayden were ready to let him go? For Matt to be #4 in the brigade is a sure sign that he's done things wrong. That's why I rate him low.

BTW, he did talk about it.
From live feeds transcripts of the 16th:

"Matt pulls Hayden into the CR and tells him he's sure that there's a power out there that can change things. He says he doesn't have it, but thinks someone else might and that they might use it on him...he's saying it's not over...saying anyone but Kathy or Brendon would use it...

Matt: "I think it is a strong possibility which is why I am not totally pissed off. We just need to keep it to ourselves."

He tells him that anyone could have it. Hayden asks if he's talking about a competition. Matt says no that it would be something America voted on that it's already out there.

He says Enzo could have it, Hayden might, Brit or Ragan, he says I might have it, then quickly says, but I know that I don't.

Enzo is there now...Matt tells him he thinks there's a power out there and to not out the brigade yet."

There was more of it as the week went by. So much for not saying anything about it! The Brigade knows that Matt is a liar.
