Stephen Colbert questions GOP support for Matt Gaetz amid ethics report secrecy
Stephen Colbert questioned why Republican lawmakers are protecting former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has been nominated by Donald Trump for attorney general. This follows a House Ethics Committee vote to block the release of a report on serious allegations against Gaetz. The report includes claims that Gaetz paid for sex and drugs and had sex with a minor, which he denies. Colbert highlighted the secrecy surrounding the report, asking what lawmakers are trying to hide. The vote to keep the report sealed was split along party lines, raising further questions about the GOP's support for Gaetz amid these allegations.
