Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who President-elect Trump tapped to become Attorney General, resigned from the House before an ethics report could have dropped.
WASHINGTON >> The House Ethics Committee, which has been investigating allegations that Rep. Matt Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, was prepared to vote to release a highly critical report about Gaetz on Friday, according to a Republican official familiar with the matter.
Senators from both parties demanded Thursday to see a potentially damning House Ethics Committee report on far-right former Rep. Matt Gaetz before deciding whether to confirm him as attorney general.
While burying the report is an option, past cases show lawmakers and ethics officials have sometimes chosen to release findings on Congresspeople who’ve left office.
