Top Democrat calls for release of ethics report on former Rep. Gaetz

Rep. Susan Wild, the top Democrat on the House Ethics Committee, stated that the report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz should be made public. She emphasized that similar reports have been released in the past. Gaetz resigned after being nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for attorney general, which ended the ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. Despite this, some lawmakers are pushing for the report's release. The ethics committee is scheduled to meet on Wednesday to discuss the report. The committee is evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, meaning a tie would defer the decision to the Republican majority.
