Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says releasing the ethics committee report on the Florida lawmaker would set "a terrible precedent".

The committee has been investigating allegations that Mr. Gaetz, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for attorney general, engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.

Matt Gaetz's immediate resignation from Congress on Wednesday came just days before a House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing its report on Gaetz, according to multiple reports. President-elect Donald Trump named Gaetz as his pick for U.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz resigned, stopping the House Ethics Committee's investigation and leaving questions about the report.

Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) called Thursday for the House Ethics Committee to release the results of its investigation into former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz’s conduct ahead of Senate considerations of President-elect Donald Trump’s planned nomination of Gaetz as attorney general.

Senators from both parties are asking to see the House Ethics Committee's findings about former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz. Gaetz resigned from the House on Wednesday after being nominated by Donald Trump to serve as attorney general in the president-elect's second term.

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen the Florida Republican to serve as his attorney general, but he faces a tough road to confirmation.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is urging the House Ethics Committee to not release its investigation of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), as pressure mounts on the panel to publish its findings about the Florida Republican who resigned from Congress immediately after President-elect Trump selected him to be attorney general.
