livemint.com

Senate Republicans are seeking details on the House's sexual misconduct investigation into Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Concerns have emerged from within the GOP about Gaetz's controversial past and the implications for his confirmation. Gaetz resigned from his House seat following the nomination, which surprised many lawmakers. The House Ethics Committee is expected to release its findings soon, and some senators are pushing for access to the report, even privately. Senate Democrats are also calling for the report to be shared with the Senate Judiciary Committee. The outcome of this investigation could significantly impact Gaetz's confirmation process, as four Republican votes are needed to block his nomination.
