Summary
House Ethics Committee Republicans temporarily blocked releasing findings from a probe into allegations of sexual misconduct and other accusations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz, now Trump’s nominee for attorney general.
The report may be reconsidered on December 5, as Senate Republicans deliberate his controversial nomination.
Gaetz denies the allegations, including claims he had sex with a 17-year-old.
Senate Democrats have requested FBI records on past investigations. GOP allies praise Gaetz’s loyalty to Trump’s agenda.
What’s the big deal? Was he found innocent, like he says he is? Cool, release it. Something something if he has nothing to hide.
Or was he found guilty? Cool, release it.
