House Ethics Committee declines to release report on Matt Gaetz misconduct allegations

The House Ethics Committee has decided not to release a report on sexual misconduct allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz. Committee chair Rep. Michael Guest stated there was no agreement to make the report public after a two-hour meeting. Guest indicated he opposed releasing the report because it was incomplete when Gaetz resigned. He did not confirm if the committee voted on the issue. Rep. Sean Casten plans to push for a full House vote to compel the committee to release the report. Gaetz has denied allegations of sexual assault against a 17-year-old girl.
