Mike Johnson opposes release of House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz
House Speaker Mike Johnson stated on Friday that he believes the House Ethics Committee should not release its report on Matt Gaetz, as Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress. Johnson emphasized the importance of maintaining tradition in such matters. Previously, Johnson had indicated he was not involved in the timing of the report's release. The Ethics Committee was nearing the end of its investigation into Gaetz for alleged misconduct before his resignation. Calls for the report's release are growing among senators from both parties. The Ethics Committee was expected to meet this week to discuss the report but did not meet on Friday.
