Calls grow for release of House ethics report on Gaetz allegations

baltimoresun.com

Calls are increasing for the U.S. House Ethics Committee to release a report on allegations of sexual misconduct involving Matt Gaetz. The report reportedly examines claims of misconduct, including interactions with an underage girl, and was set for a vote before Gaetz's resignation halted the investigation. Gaetz's resignation means the Ethics Committee can no longer investigate him, but some senators and a lawyer involved in the case are urging the report's release. The report could provide more details about Gaetz's alleged misconduct and his connections to former Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg. Despite the allegations, Gaetz has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be the next U.S. Attorney General. His past controversies and the ongoing scrutiny may complicate his confirmation process in the Senate.
