House Ethics Committee may release report on Matt Gaetz after his resignation
Florida Representative Matt Gaetz resigned, halting the House Ethics Committee's investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and obstruction. Despite his resignation, the committee may still release a report on his alleged involvement in sex trafficking a minor. The House Ethics Committee had planned to vote on releasing the report, but it is unclear if that will proceed now that Gaetz has stepped down. Sources indicate the report could be leaked soon, with claims that it is "highly damaging." Gaetz has denied all allegations, attributing them to a smear campaign. He faces scrutiny as President-elect Donald Trump nominated him for U.S. attorney general, raising concerns among some lawmakers about his confirmation.
