Vance urges senators for loyal cabinet as House committee weighs Gaetz report release
The House Ethics Committee is considering whether to release a report on Matt Gaetz, who is under investigation for allegations related to paying for sex with a minor. Gaetz resigned from the House last week, ending the committee's jurisdiction over him. Despite his resignation, pressure is mounting to disclose the findings as Gaetz joins Vice President-Elect JD Vance in lobbying Republican senators for upcoming confirmation hearings. Vance stated that Trump "deserves" a loyal cabinet. Trump has nominated several individuals for his cabinet, including Linda McMahon for education secretary and Dr. Mehmet Oz for a health administration role. These nominations come as Trump continues to build his team ahead of the new administration.
