Congressional panel deadlocks on ethics report for Gaetz as confirmation hearing approaches

A congressional ethics committee has not reached a decision on releasing a report about alleged sexual misconduct by Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. The committee met but remained divided along party lines and will reconvene on December 5. Gaetz, who resigned from Congress after Trump's nomination, is no longer under the committee's jurisdiction. The chairman expressed concerns about releasing the report, which is still under review. Senators from both parties are pushing for access to the findings. The ethics investigation includes serious allegations against Gaetz, which he denies. Some former colleagues support his nomination, while others emphasize the need for transparency regarding the ethics report before the confirmation hearing.
