Republican senators weigh Gaetz nomination as Ethics Committee report looms

Republican senators are grappling with the nomination of Matt Gaetz for attorney general amid ongoing concerns about a House Ethics Committee report. Gaetz faces allegations related to a 17-year-old girl, which he denies. The Ethics Committee is expected to release its findings soon, influencing Senate votes on Gaetz's confirmation. Some GOP senators have expressed the need to see the report before proceeding. In addition to Gaetz, Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead a public health agency, raising further concerns among Senate Republicans about the administration's direction and potential conflicts within the party.
