US House ethics committee votes on Matt Gaetz report

The US House Ethics Committee is set to vote on whether to release a report on attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz, as controversy surrounding his nomination continues to swirl. Gaetz, who resigned from the House after being nominated by former President Donald Trump, faces allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, which he has vehemently denied.

Vice-President-elect JD Vance is working to secure Senate support for Trump’s cabinet picks, bringing Gaetz along on a visit to the Capitol. However, the ongoing debate over the release of the report has caused tension among both Republicans and Democrats.

With Gaetz no longer a member of the House, it remains unclear whether the report will be made public. The outcome of the committee’s vote could have significant implications for Gaetz’s nomination and the future of Trump’s cabinet picks.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
