Lawyer urges release of House ethics report on Matt Gaetz investigation

John Clune, the lawyer for the teenager involved in the investigation of former Representative Matt Gaetz, has called for the release of a House ethics committee report. This comes as Gaetz was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for attorney general. The House Ethics Committee had been investigating Gaetz for allegations including sexual misconduct and drug use. Gaetz resigned from Congress just before the committee was set to vote on releasing its findings, complicating the situation. Some senators, including Dick Durbin and John Cornyn, have expressed the need to see the report before confirming Gaetz. Clune emphasized the importance of transparency regarding the investigation's findings.
