Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin has called for the House of Representatives to share its report on allegations of sexual misconduct against Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Mullin stated that the Senate should have access to the findings. The House Ethics Committee investigated Gaetz for years, including claims of drug use and sex trafficking involving a minor. The investigation was halted after Gaetz resigned from Congress last week following his nomination. Mullin acknowledged past differences with Gaetz but emphasized the need for scrutiny in the confirmation process. He stated he would evaluate Gaetz based on qualifications, despite his personal feelings.
