US House Ethics Committee to discuss investigation into Trump AG nominee Matt Gaetz

economictimes.indiatimes.com

The U.S. House Ethics Committee will meet to discuss its investigation into Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Gaetz faces allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use, which he denies. He resigned from the House shortly after Trump's announcement. Senators are requesting the House panel's findings on Gaetz, as they have a role in confirming presidential appointments. Some Republican senators believe the report should be shared with the Senate, while House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes making it public since Gaetz is no longer a member. Gaetz was previously investigated by the Department of Justice for sex trafficking allegations but was told he would not face charges. The investigation's future is uncertain following his resignation.
