Gaetz seeks attorney general confirmation as ethics report on misconduct claims remains unresolved
The House Ethics Committee did not reach a decision on releasing a report about former Rep. Matt Gaetz's alleged sexual misconduct. This uncertainty comes as Gaetz seeks confirmation as attorney general, with lawmakers divided on the report's relevance. Gaetz resigned from Congress after being nominated by Trump for the attorney general position. The ethics committee is set to meet again on December 5 to discuss the report, which includes serious allegations against Gaetz. Despite new claims, including that Gaetz paid for sex and had inappropriate relations with a minor, he denies all allegations. Trump continues to support Gaetz, although he reportedly believes Gaetz's chances of Senate confirmation are low.
