Summary

House Republicans blocked efforts to release the Ethics Committee’s report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, prolonging uncertainty over allegations of sexual misconduct despite his resignation from Congress.

Democrats pushed for transparency, accusing Republicans of hiding credible allegations. Speaker Mike Johnson argued that publishing the report sets a bad precedent.

While ethics reports have rarely been released post-resignation, tensions remain high on the bipartisan committee.

Gaetz denies wrongdoing, and DOJ previously closed its sex trafficking probe without charges. The report’s fate is unclear as the congressional session nears its end.

    I will never understand how these people get elected when they can’t even bother to show up for work.

      Rules for the three, not for me.
