Attorney calls for release of report on Matt Gaetz after his resignation from Congress
John Clune, attorney for an alleged victim of Matt Gaetz, urged the House Ethics Committee to release its report following Gaetz's resignation from Congress. Gaetz is now President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Clune stated that his client was a high school student and that there were witnesses to the alleged misconduct. The House Ethics Committee was investigating Gaetz for various allegations, including sex trafficking and drug use. Gaetz's resignation has halted the Ethics Committee's investigation, which was set to vote on releasing its findings. The Department of Justice previously investigated Gaetz but did not file charges.
