House committee delays report on Trump attorney general nominee Gaetz

A congressional ethics panel has not released its report on Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's pick for attorney general. The investigation, which began in 2021, looked into allegations of sex trafficking, drug use, and misappropriating campaign funds. The panel met but did not reach a decision on whether to share the report. Gaetz resigned from Congress after being nominated, creating uncertainty about the report's future. Some lawmakers are urging that it be shared with the Senate for their confirmation process. Senator Dick Durbin has requested access to files related to the allegations against Gaetz. He emphasized the need for thorough review to assess the credibility of the claims. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing.
