Pressure grows for House ethics report on Matt Gaetz's alleged misconduct

triblive.com

Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress on Wednesday, just before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a report about allegations of sexual misconduct involving a minor. His resignation ends the committee's ability to impose penalties. The Senate Judiciary Committee is still expected to review the Ethics Committee's findings, with members from both parties calling for transparency. Gaetz's nomination as attorney general is now under scrutiny due to these allegations. The allegations against Gaetz include sexual misconduct and drug use, linked to his associations with convicted sex trafficker Joel Greenberg. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing, but the situation raises questions about his fitness for the attorney general position.
