US House Speaker opposes release of ethics report on Trump's attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the ethics committee should not release a report on alleged sexual improprieties involving Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Johnson argued that Gaetz's resignation from Congress changes the situation. Gaetz, a controversial Republican from Florida, has faced multiple allegations, including paying for sex with a minor and other misconduct. He has denied these accusations. Democrats have criticized Gaetz as unqualified for the attorney general position, labeling him a "troll." Johnson's comments highlight a divide in opinions regarding Gaetz's suitability for the role.
