Sen. Dick Durbin has urged the House Ethics Committee to release its report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz following Gaetz's resignation after being nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for attorney general. Durbin emphasized that the timing of Gaetz's resignation raises significant concerns about the investigation's findings, which may be crucial for his confirmation process. Durbin's call comes as the Ethics Committee was reportedly set to vote on releasing the report prior to Gaetz's resignation, but the session was interrupted by a House recess. Additionally, John Clune, a lawyer representing one of Gaetz's accusers, has also called for the immediate release of the findings, describing them as highly damaging. Although Gaetz has resigned and the committee's jurisdiction over him has lapsed, Democrats continue to press for transparency regarding the investigation. The details of the report remain undisclosed, but prior allegations against Gaetz have included serious misconduct and illegal activities.
