Matt Gaetz and JD Vance seek GOP support for attorney general nomination as ethics report looms
Matt Gaetz and JD Vance are visiting Capitol Hill to gain support for Gaetz's nomination as attorney general. They are joined by other Trump administration nominees to persuade skeptical Republicans to back Gaetz despite his controversial past. Gaetz faces scrutiny due to a previous investigation by the Justice Department and the House Ethics Committee over allegations of misconduct. He has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime. The House Ethics Committee is meeting to discuss its report on Gaetz, which was delayed after his resignation from Congress. Over 100 House Democrats and some Republicans are calling for the report's release to ensure transparency during the nomination process.
