House Democrats push for release of Matt Gaetz Ethics report after his withdrawal from attorney general race
House Democrats are continuing their efforts to release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz, despite his withdrawal from consideration for Attorney General. They argue the public deserves to know the findings related to allegations against him. Rep. Sean Casten introduced a resolution to force a House vote on the report, which must occur within two legislative days. The vote is expected in early December, but it is uncertain if it will pass, as Republicans control the House and oppose the release. Speaker Mike Johnson has stated that the Ethics Committee cannot investigate former members, citing Gaetz's recent resignation. Some Republicans may support the release to embarrass Gaetz, despite potential backlash from Trump.
