Speaker Mike Johnson opposes release of Ethics report on Matt Gaetz following nomination for attorney general

Speaker Mike Johnson announced he does not want the House Ethics Committee to release its report on Matt Gaetz, who has been nominated by Donald Trump for attorney general. This decision comes amid calls from both parties for the report's public release. Gaetz resigned from Congress after his nomination, which means the Ethics Committee no longer has jurisdiction over him. Advocates for releasing the report argue it is relevant to Gaetz's Senate confirmation process. The Ethics Committee was scheduled to meet to discuss the report but canceled after Gaetz's resignation. Some Senate Republicans, including John Cornyn, expressed a desire to review the report before voting on Gaetz's nomination.
