House Ethics Committee fails to reach agreement on Matt Gaetz report release

The House Ethics Committee has not reached an agreement on releasing its report regarding former Rep. Matt Gaetz. The committee met for over two hours but failed to achieve consensus, according to Chairman Michael Guest. Tensions arose during the meeting, with Rep. Susan Wild criticizing Guest for discussing the committee's deliberations with reporters. She emphasized that no agreement was made to disclose the report, highlighting the evenly divided nature of the committee. Gaetz, who resigned after being nominated for attorney general, has faced multiple investigations since 2021. Some lawmakers are pushing for the report's release, citing the need for transparency as the Senate considers his nomination.
