Gaetz Resigns Amid Ethics Probe and Trump AG Speculation

Rep. Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress unexpectedly, just before the House Ethics Committee was set to release a report on allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use against him. His resignation follows President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Gaetz as the next attorney general, a move that surprised many in Congress. With Gaetz's departure, the ethics investigation will not proceed, as the committee loses jurisdiction over former members. Gaetz's confirmation as attorney general will require Senate approval, where he faces mixed support.
