House Ethics Committee to meet on Gaetz investigation after postponement

The House Ethics Committee will meet on Wednesday to discuss its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, which was previously postponed. Gaetz resigned from Congress on the same day he was nominated to be President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general. The committee's investigation, which began in 2021, involved allegations of drug use and sexual misconduct. With Gaetz's resignation, the committee loses jurisdiction, and a report may not be issued unless he undergoes the attorney general vetting process. House Speaker Mike Johnson stated he does not believe the committee's report should be released, calling it inappropriate since Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress.
