House Ethics Committee Faces Pressure Over Gaetz Investigation

The House Ethics Committee is set to meet on Wednesday to potentially vote on releasing a report regarding sexual misconduct allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is being considered for the role of attorney general by Donald Trump. Speaker Mike Johnson is urging the committee to keep the report confidential, arguing it would set a bad precedent. The report's release is crucial for Gaetz's confirmation, as some Republican senators express skepticism about his nomination. Gaetz denies any wrongdoing, while his accusers push for the report's publication.
