Senator calls for release of ethics report on Matt Gaetz misconduct allegations

Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin urged the House of Representatives to release an ethics report on Matt Gaetz, who is accused of sexual misconduct involving a 17-year-old girl. Gaetz resigned from the House after being nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for attorney general. The House Ethics Committee was expected to release its findings soon, which also include allegations of drug use. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing. Mullin emphasized the Senate's need to review the report before confirming Trump's nomination. House Speaker Mike Johnson opposed the release of the report, stating it could set a concerning precedent. Mullin, who has criticized Gaetz in the past, stated he would consider Gaetz's nomination fairly.
