House Ethics Committee cancels meeting on Gaetz report after his resignation

The House Ethics Committee canceled its meeting to release a report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who resigned after being selected as attorney general by President-elect Donald Trump. The committee no longer has jurisdiction over Gaetz. Previously, the committee planned to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use against Gaetz. However, once he resigned, the committee's ability to issue a report ended. There is a possibility for lawmakers to challenge the committee's decision to withhold the report through a parliamentary procedure. This could force the Ethics Committee to release its findings.
