Senator calls for release of ethics report on Matt Gaetz following resignation
dawn.com —
Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin urged the House of Representatives to release an ethics report on Matt Gaetz, who resigned after being nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for attorney general. The report includes allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use, which Gaetz denies. Mullin emphasized that the Senate needs access to the report for confirmation purposes. He has previously criticized Gaetz but stated he has not decided how he will vote on Gaetz's nomination. House Speaker Mike Johnson opposed the release of the report, citing historical precedents. Meanwhile, the girl’s lawyer has called for the report to be made public.
