Speaker Johnson requests House Ethics Committee to withhold Gaetz investigation results

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced he will request that the House Ethics Committee not release its investigation results into former Rep. Matt Gaetz. This marks a shift from his earlier stance of non-involvement in the committee's decisions. Senators from both parties are pressing for access to the report, especially as Gaetz is nominated for attorney general. They argue that the timing of his resignation raises concerns about the investigation's findings. The Ethics Committee typically ends investigations when a member resigns, but the situation with Gaetz is unusual due to his potential role in the Trump administration. The committee's chairman is currently assessing whether the report can be shared with the Senate.
