Senator Dick Durbin emphasized that Gaetz's resignation raises questions about the ethics report's contents. He called for the report to be shared with the Senate Judiciary Committee, stating it could impact Gaetz's confirmation process. Senator Richard Blumenthal also requested the release of the investigation findings, asserting their relevance to Gaetz's nomination. The House Ethics Committee was set to meet this week regarding the report before Gaetz's resignation.
