President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz as attorney general has met with skepticism from Senate Republicans, who are urging the release of a House Ethics Committee report investigating Gaetz for alleged sexual misconduct and drug use. Sen. John Cornyn emphasized the importance of reviewing the report before any confirmation votes, suggesting legal avenues to access it, as Gaetz's resignation from Congress has left the committee without jurisdiction. Gaetz's past involvement in a federal investigation regarding sex trafficking allegations adds to the controversy, though he denies any wrongdoing. The Senate GOP can only afford three defections, making the nomination process particularly delicate. Some senators are advocating for a thorough vetting process to protect both the Senate's integrity and the president's interests. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are pushing for the report's public release during their final weeks in power.
