Matt Gaetz ethics report made available to more Congress members ahead of confirmation hearings

newsweek.com

A House Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz, nominated by Donald Trump for attorney general, is now accessible to more members of Congress. This comes as pressure grows to release the report before Senate confirmation hearings. Gaetz resigned from Congress after his nomination, temporarily delaying the report's release. The document addresses allegations of sexual abuse and drug use, which Gaetz has denied. House Speaker Mike Johnson has requested the report remain private, but some Republicans want it made public. The report's findings could impact Gaetz's confirmation, as he would lead a Justice Department that previously investigated him.
