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.

    Taxpayer money was used to create that report. If they don’t release it, then it’s just a waste of taxpayer money.

      Unless it is classified, should it not fall under FOIA?
