Key Republican calls for release of Matt Gaetz ethics report

Senator John Cornyn has expressed a strong desire to see the unreleased ethics report on Matt Gaetz, who is President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general. The report investigates allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. Gaetz resigned from his House seat on Wednesday, which may end the Ethics Committee's investigation. He has denied any wrongdoing and previously faced a Justice Department investigation over sex trafficking allegations but was not charged. Cornyn, a key figure in the Senate Judiciary Committee, noted that many Republican senators are skeptical about Gaetz's nomination. Gaetz has no prior experience in the Justice Department and has made controversial statements, including suggesting the abolition of the FBI.
