House Republicans block release of ethics report on Gaetz amid confirmation push

House Republicans have blocked efforts to release an ethics report on Matt Gaetz, Trump's nominee for attorney general, amid allegations of sexual misconduct. This decision follows increasing scrutiny of Gaetz, who faces accusations of having sex with a minor. Senate Republicans have indicated they may still support Gaetz's confirmation, despite the serious allegations. Some GOP senators argue that he was never charged with a crime, suggesting that the lack of prosecution may influence their votes. The situation has sparked division among Democrats, with some expressing concern over the lack of transparency. Gaetz's confirmation hearings are expected to be contentious, as he defends himself against the allegations while seeking support from Republican colleagues.
