Summary
The House Ethics Committee has expanded access to its report on Matt Gaetz, recently nominated for attorney general by Trump.
The report details allegations of sexual abuse and drug use, including claims Gaetz paid women for sex and had relations with a minor, which he denies.
While House Speaker Mike Johnson seeks to block public release, some Republicans demand transparency due to Gaetz’s nomination.
The Justice Department previously investigated similar allegations but declined to press charges.
Senate confirmation hearings are expected to intensify scrutiny.
It should, but frankly, I’ve given up believing that people can be trusted to rise to the occasion and do the right thing.
The Panama Papers were released in full but they only led to the reporters being killed.
Oops, accidentally invited in some tourists… it be ashamed if someone took that report as a souvenier 🤭
