House Ethics Committee to Review Report on Matt Gaetz Amid Controversial Attorney General Nomination

The bipartisan House Ethics Committee is set to meet behind closed doors on Wednesday to discuss its investigation report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who resigned last week after being nominated by President-elect Donald Trump as attorney general.

The fate of the report remains uncertain, as the committee—known for its discretion—has not confirmed whether it will vote on its release. To make the report public, a majority of the committee’s five Democrats and five Republicans would need to approve its disclosure, meaning at least one Republican would have to side with Democrats.

The committee’s investigation into Gaetz has been extensive, involving interviews with more than a dozen witnesses, the issuance of at least 25 subpoenas, and the review of thousands of documents.

Launched on April 9, 2021, the inquiry examined allegations that Gaetz “may have engaged in sexual misconduct and/or illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and/or accepted a bribe, improper gratuity, or impermissible gift, in violation of House Rules, laws, or other standards of conduct.”

The report’s potential release could shed light on the findings of the high-profile investigation, which has drawn significant attention both within Congress and across the country.
