Controversy Erupts Over Gaetz's AG Nomination Amid Bipartisan Concerns
TL;DR
The House Ethics Committee has canceled its meeting to decide on releasing a report into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who resigned from Congress after being nominated by President-elect Trump as attorney general. The committee's investigation into Gaetz, which included allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use, has ended since it lacks jurisdiction over former members. However, there is pressure to release the report as Gaetz undergoes Senate confirmation, though some argue it's unnecessary now that he's no longer in Congress.
