Senate Democrats seek FBI file on Matt Gaetz amid misconduct allegations

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have requested the FBI's complete file on Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. They cite unresolved allegations of sexual misconduct, including sex trafficking, as reasons for their request. The FBI previously investigated Gaetz but closed the case last year without charges due to witness credibility issues. The committee argues that reviewing the FBI's materials is essential for vetting Gaetz's fitness for the role. Gaetz resigned from Congress last week, which halted a separate investigation by the House Ethics Committee. Reports have emerged of testimonies alleging Gaetz paid for sex and engaged with a minor.
