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 Rep. Matt Gaetz's alleged violations of congressional rules. The committee's closed-door meeting ended without consensus, and further discussions are scheduled for December 5. Rep. Michael Guest expressed concerns about the report being an "unfinished work product." Meanwhile, Rep. Susan Wild accused him of suggesting a decision not to release it, highlighting the committee's partisan split. Rep. Sean Casten plans to introduce a motion to force the report's release if the committee does not act. Witnesses have provided testimony about serious allegations against Gaetz, including claims of sexual misconduct.
