Gaetz Ethics Report Spurs GOP Tensions

A Democratic Representative from Illinois has filed a resolution to force a House vote on releasing an Ethics Committee report concerning former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who denies allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor and illicit drug use. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican Congresswoman, has threatened to reveal sexual harassment and assault claims against other Republicans if the report on Gaetz is made public. Greene's statements come amidst controversy over Donald Trump's nomination of Gaetz for attorney general, despite resistance from Republican lawmakers due to these allegations. This development highlights ongoing tensions within the GOP, as Greene calls for transparency regarding all ethics claims, including those involving taxpayer-funded settlements. The report's release has been delayed following Gaetz's resignation, and while the Justice Department concluded its investigation without charges, the Ethics Committee findings remain contentious.
