House Ethics Committee Withholds Gaetz Report

The House Ethics Committee remains deadlocked over the release of a report detailing allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz, including sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. Committee Chair Michael Guest stated that there was no agreement to release the report, with all Republican members voting against it and all Democrats in favor. The committee plans to reconvene on December 5 to revisit the issue, while Gaetz recently resigned from Congress following his nomination by President-elect Trump for Attorney General. Despite extensive investigations, no charges have been filed against Gaetz, leading some Senate Republicans to call for transparency regarding the allegations. Gaetz's confirmation as Attorney General is uncertain as he meets with Republican senators amidst these ongoing concerns. The situation has sparked significant debate within both parties, highlighting the partisan divide on this issue.
