Speaker Johnson Blocks Release of Gaetz Ethics Report

Speaker Mike Johnson is urging the House Ethics Committee not to release its investigation findings on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who resigned after being nominated as attorney general by President-elect Trump. Johnson argues that releasing the report would break House tradition and set a bad precedent, as Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress. The Ethics Committee had been investigating Gaetz for alleged misconduct, but the investigation ended with his resignation. The committee's decision on whether to publish the report remains pending.
