GOP senator pushes for release of Matt Gaetz ethics report despite House speaker's opposition

A Republican senator is challenging House Speaker Mike Johnson's opposition to releasing a report on Matt Gaetz, who resigned from Congress amid an investigation. Johnson argues that releasing the report would violate House traditions and set a bad precedent. Senator Mike Rounds stated that the Senate has a duty to review all evidence for presidential nominees. He indicated that the Senate may issue a subpoena to obtain the Ethics Committee's report on Gaetz, which has been under investigation for serious allegations. The House Ethics Committee has been looking into Gaetz for years, including allegations of sexual misconduct and misuse of funds. Critics, including Democrats, are calling for transparency and the release of the report, arguing that the public deserves to know the findings.
