Matt Gaetz meets with senators to build support ahead of House Ethics decision

Matt Gaetz, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for attorney general, is meeting privately with Republican senators to gain support amid ongoing allegations of sexual misconduct. This effort comes as the House Ethics Committee prepares to release findings from its investigation. Senators expressed mixed views on Gaetz, with some defending him against what they call a "lynch mob" mentality. Gaetz aims to present his vision for the Justice Department and counter the allegations before the committee's report is made public. The Senate Judiciary Committee has requested the FBI's complete file on Gaetz's case. While some GOP senators want all information before voting, others, including Gaetz, maintain confidence in his ability to address the allegations.
