Senators seek House Ethics report on Gaetz following attorney general nomination
Senators from both parties are requesting the House Ethics Committee's report on former Representative Matt Gaetz. Gaetz resigned after being nominated for attorney general, ending a long investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. The House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing their report, but Gaetz's resignation has complicated this process. Senator John Cornyn expressed his intent to review the findings before confirming Gaetz's nomination. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin called for the report to be preserved and shared with the Senate. He emphasized the importance of transparency regarding the bipartisan investigation into Gaetz.
