Gaetz's attorney general nomination reignites scrutiny over underage sex allegations
Matt Gaetz's nomination as attorney general has renewed scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct involving a 17-year-old girl. The Justice Department ended its investigation into these claims last year. The House Ethics Committee had reopened its inquiry into Gaetz, with a report expected Friday. However, Gaetz's recent resignation from Congress means the committee can no longer investigate him. Despite this, there is pressure on the committee to release its findings, particularly from an attorney representing the woman involved in the allegations.
