House ethics committee cancels meeting as Democrats seek release of Gaetz misconduct report

The House Ethics Committee canceled a meeting scheduled for Friday amid calls from Democrats to release a report on Matt Gaetz's alleged sexual misconduct. This report reportedly includes testimony from a woman claiming Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17. Gaetz resigned on Wednesday, shortly after being nominated for Attorney General. The inquiry into his conduct also examines his attendance at a drug-related party in 2017. Gaetz has denied the allegations, calling them false. Senators are pressing for the report's release before voting on Gaetz's nomination. Some committee members are uncertain if they can release the findings now that Gaetz has resigned, but Democrats are exploring options to make the report public.
