Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin urged the House to release an ethics report on Matt Gaetz, who resigned from Congress after being nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for attorney general. The report includes allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. Mullin stated that the Senate needs access to the report for confirmation purposes. He has previously criticized Gaetz but has not decided how he will vote on the nomination. The House Ethics Committee is expected to release the report soon, despite opposition from House Speaker Mike Johnson. The Justice Department concluded its investigation into Gaetz without filing charges.
