Senator Cornyn urges review of House Ethics report on Gaetz's misconduct allegations
Republican Senator John Cornyn has called for lawmakers to access a report from the House Ethics Committee regarding allegations of sexual misconduct against Matt Gaetz. Cornyn emphasized the need for transparency as Gaetz is nominated for attorney general. Gaetz resigned from his House seat on Wednesday, which may end the Ethics Committee's investigation. He has denied any wrongdoing and previously faced a Justice Department investigation over sex trafficking allegations but was not charged. Several Republican senators have expressed doubts about Gaetz's nomination. Cornyn, a key figure in the confirmation process, noted that many questions remain about Gaetz's prospects for approval in the Senate.
