Matt Gaetz meets with senators to build support as House Ethics decision approaches

Matt Gaetz is meeting privately with Republican senators to gain support for his nomination as attorney general amid ongoing allegations of sexual misconduct. This comes as the House Ethics Committee prepares to discuss findings from a lengthy investigation into his conduct. Senators expressed mixed views on the allegations against Gaetz. Some, like Sen. Lindsey Graham, defended him, while others indicated they want to review the Ethics Committee's report before deciding on his confirmation. The Senate Judiciary Committee has requested the FBI's complete file on Gaetz's alleged sex trafficking of minors. Despite the serious allegations, some senators believe Gaetz deserves a chance to present his case during upcoming hearings.
