GOP senator calls for Senate access to Matt Gaetz ethics report

Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin stated that the Senate should have access to the House Ethics Committee's investigation into former Representative Matt Gaetz. He emphasized that this information is important for evaluating Trump's nominees, including Gaetz for Attorney General. Gaetz resigned from Congress last week, which ended the committee's investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. His nomination has sparked strong reactions from Democrats and raised doubts among some Republicans about his confirmation prospects. Mullin mentioned that he would consider Gaetz's qualifications despite their past disagreements. He also indicated support for potential recess appointments by Trump if necessary, but noted that this would be a last resort.
