Republican senator seeks details on Matt Gaetz amid ethics concerns before confirmation hearing

Republican Senator John Cornyn is seeking more information on Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Cornyn wants access to Gaetz's ethics report amid ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. Gaetz resigned from Congress on the same day he was nominated, which ends the House Ethics Committee's probe but does not prevent the report's release. Other Republican senators have expressed skepticism about Gaetz's confirmation prospects. Democratic Senator Dick Durbin has requested that the House ethics panel preserve and share its findings. Some Republican lawmakers anticipate significant questions during Gaetz's confirmation hearing in January.
