House Ethics Committee to meet as scrutiny grows over Matt Gaetz nomination
The U.S. House Ethics Committee is set to meet privately as Senate Republicans urge it to disclose findings from its investigation into Matt Gaetz, who resigned after being nominated by Donald Trump for Attorney General. Gaetz faces allegations of sexual misconduct involving a minor, but previous investigations by the Justice Department did not result in charges. Some Senate Republicans question his qualifications for the role, while Trump supports Gaetz's nomination. Calls for transparency in the Ethics Committee's findings have increased, especially given Gaetz's new nomination. Some lawmakers argue that releasing the report is necessary due to the significance of the position Gaetz is being considered for.
