House Ethics Committee to decide on releasing report about Matt Gaetz allegations
The House Ethics Committee will meet on Wednesday to decide whether to release a report on allegations against Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's pick for attorney general. The report investigates claims that Gaetz paid for sex with a minor in 2017. Gaetz, who resigned from the House last week, has denied the allegations. The committee's decision comes as he prepares to lobby Republican senators ahead of confirmation hearings in January. In other developments, Trump nominated Linda McMahon for education secretary, Dr. Mehmet Oz for a health position, and Howard Lutnick for commerce secretary. Trump also attended a SpaceX test launch in Texas with Elon Musk.
