House ethics committee to review Gaetz investigation findings this week

The House Ethics Committee will meet on Wednesday to discuss its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz. This comes after Gaetz resigned from Congress last week following his nomination for attorney general by President-elect Donald Trump. The committee's decision to release its findings is uncertain, as it usually does not publish reports on former members. However, there have been exceptions in the past. House Speaker Mike Johnson has requested that the report remain confidential. Gaetz has faced allegations of sexual misconduct and other improprieties, which he denies. The investigation has been ongoing since April 2021, but no charges were filed against him in a related federal inquiry.
