Matt Gaetz meets with senators to build support as House Ethics report 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, including Lindsey Graham and Josh Hawley, expressed support for Gaetz, urging caution before making judgments. Gaetz aims to present his vision for the Department of Justice and counter the allegations against him, which he has denied. The House Ethics Committee's report could reveal serious allegations against Gaetz, but some GOP senators want to review all information before voting. The Senate is expected to begin hearings on Trump's nominees when the new Congress convenes in January.
