House Ethics Committee Report on Gaetz Released

Matt Gaetz's nomination as U.S. Attorney General by President-elect Donald Trump is facing serious challenges due to allegations of sexual misconduct, including claims that he paid for sex and engaged with a minor at a party in 2017. The House Ethics Committee is under pressure to release its report detailing these allegations, which includes testimony from multiple witnesses. Gaetz had previously resigned from Congress, which some believe has temporarily stalled the report's public release. His attorneys have denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated, while witnesses have provided extensive testimony to investigators. The Justice Department had previously investigated Gaetz but did not bring charges against him. The committee is expected to convene to discuss the report's future amid bipartisan calls for transparency.
