Matt Gaetz resigns from Congress after being named Trump’s attorney general pick as ethics investigation looms

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) resigned after being named President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general. His resignation may prevent the release of an ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use by the House Ethics Committee. The Ethics Committee, which is split between Democrats and Republicans, is set to meet to decide whether to release their findings. Gaetz is no longer under their jurisdiction, but the report may include serious allegations, including claims of sexual relations with a minor. Some members of Congress want the report released before any vote on Gaetz's potential cabinet position. Meanwhile, reports indicate that unauthorized access to witness depositions in the investigation has occurred, raising questions about the information's public availability.
