House Ethics Committee faces division over Matt Gaetz report release

The House Ethics Committee met to discuss a report on former Congressman Matt Gaetz, but no agreement was reached on its release. This disagreement has caused tension between committee members, particularly between the chairman and the top Democrat. Unlike previous investigations, Gaetz's resignation complicates the situation, as it typically ends such inquiries. However, his nomination by President-elect Trump adds pressure on Republicans, who are wary of defying Trump. Republicans are concerned about the impact of the report on Senate confirmations for Gaetz and other nominees. Some senators are already hesitant, highlighting the challenges the GOP faces in managing internal conflicts and external pressures.
