House Ethics Committee to discuss investigation into former Rep. Gaetz after his resignation

The House Ethics Committee plans to meet on Wednesday to discuss its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz. This follows Gaetz's recent resignation from Congress, which occurred just before a scheduled vote on the committee's report regarding allegations against him. The investigation includes claims of sexual relations with a minor and other misconduct. Gaetz's resignation may prevent the committee from releasing its findings, as it loses jurisdiction over him once he is no longer a member of Congress. Some lawmakers are advocating for the report's release, especially as Gaetz has been nominated for attorney general. House Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed opposition to releasing the report, citing concerns about its impact on the institution.
