House to Vote on Gaetz Ethics Report

The U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee continues to deliberate on the release of its report investigating former Congressman Matt Gaetz for alleged sexual misconduct and drug use. Despite Gaetz's resignation and withdrawal as a nominee for attorney general, bipartisan pressure persists for transparency, with Democratic Representative Sean Casten spearheading efforts to compel the report's publication. The committee's chairman, Representative Michael Guest, has expressed reluctance to release the findings, citing a lack of urgency due to Gaetz's departure from Congress. Meanwhile, the Secret Service is facing scrutiny after a recent hearing revealed significant operational failures during attempted assassination incidents involving Donald Trump. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. acknowledged these shortcomings and outlined measures being implemented to enhance security. The House is expected to vote on the Gaetz report's release, with potential implications for party dynamics as some Republicans may cross lines to support transparency.
