Matt Gaetz meets with senators to build support for attorney general nomination as ethics report approaches

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 follows a long investigation by the House Ethics Committee. Senators expressed mixed views on Gaetz, with some defending him against what they call a "lynch mob." Gaetz aims to secure a Senate hearing to present his vision for the Department of Justice, despite the looming release of the Ethics Committee's report. Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have requested the FBI's complete file on Gaetz's alleged sex trafficking. While some GOP senators want all information before voting, Gaetz maintains that the allegations against him are false.
