Matt Gaetz seeks Senate support as House Ethics Committee prepares to discuss investigation findings

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 denies. The Senate Judiciary Committee has requested the FBI's complete file on Gaetz's alleged sex trafficking of minors. Some GOP senators want to review the House Ethics Committee's report before deciding on their votes for Gaetz's confirmation.
