GOP senator calls for Senate access to Matt Gaetz ethics report following nomination for attorney general

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. Gaetz, recently nominated by President Trump for attorney general, resigned from Congress last week, which halted the ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. Mullin acknowledged past disagreements with Gaetz but expressed a willingness to consider him fairly. Democrats have reacted strongly against Gaetz's nomination, while some Republicans also question his confirmation prospects. Mullin mentioned that he would support recess appointments if necessary, but views them as a last resort.
