House ethics committee to vote on releasing report about Matt Gaetz allegations

The House ethics committee will vote on Wednesday regarding the release of a report on allegations against Matt Gaetz, a former representative and Trump’s nominee for attorney general. The report investigates claims of sexual misconduct and other misconduct. The committee's investigation follows a closed inquiry by the justice department into Gaetz's alleged sexual relationship with a minor, which did not result in charges. Gaetz has denied all allegations. Opinions within the committee are divided. Some Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, caution against releasing the report, while others, like Senator Markwayne Mullin, support making it available to the Senate. Nearly 100 House Democrats have requested the report's release.
