Republicans block release of ethics report on Gaetz ahead of confirmation hearing
cnn.com —
Republicans on the House Ethics Committee voted against releasing their investigation results on Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's attorney general nominee. This decision comes despite calls from Senate Republicans for transparency before Gaetz's confirmation hearing. The committee plans to meet again in December to finalize the report. Democrats are pushing for the report's release, with Rep. Sean Casten and Rep. Steve Cohen proposing resolutions to make it public, though procedural hurdles remain. The committee's chairman, Rep. Michael Guest, stated the report is not complete, while Rep. Susan Wild, the top Democrat, disagreed with the decision to withhold it. The committee will reconvene on December 5 to discuss the issue further.
