US House Votes Against Release of Ethics Report on Matt Gaetz Amid Controversy
The U.S. House of Representatives voted against publishing an ethics report concerning former Congressman Matt Gaetz, who faced allegations of sexual misconduct, including sex with minors and drug use. Despite being nominated by Donald Trump for Attorney General, Gaetz resigned from Congress. House Republicans argued there was no urgency to release the report since Gaetz is no longer in office, while Democrats expressed concerns about harmful precedents in covering up credible accusations of sexual misconduct.
