House Ethics Committee to decide on releasing report about Matt Gaetz

The House Ethics Committee will meet to decide whether to release its report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has been accused of sexual misconduct. Gaetz recently resigned after being nominated by Donald Trump for attorney general. House Speaker Mike Johnson noted that the committee typically investigates sitting members, and Gaetz is no longer a member. The committee has investigated Gaetz for three years, looking into allegations of sexual misconduct and other improper actions. The committee can choose to release the report, not release it, or send it to the Senate. Some members, including Rep. Susan Wild, advocate for public disclosure, citing past precedents for releasing reports after resignations.
