House Ethics Committee Republicans block release of report on Matt Gaetz investigation
Republicans on the House Ethics Committee voted against releasing a report on their investigation into Matt Gaetz, a nominee for attorney general. This decision came during a closed-door meeting, with no Republican supporting the release. Gaetz is actively seeking Senate support amid allegations of sexual misconduct. He met with Republican senators to discuss his nomination, while some senators criticized the scrutiny he faces as unfair. The Senate Judiciary Committee has requested the FBI's complete file on Gaetz's alleged misconduct. Meanwhile, some GOP senators want all information before deciding on his confirmation, which is expected to begin after the new Congress convenes in January 2025.
