The House Ethics Committee voted to release a report on the conduct of former Rep. Matt Gaetz from Florida. The report will be released after final House votes for the year. Gaetz was caught off guard by the decision and was not informed. He expressed frustration that he never had the chance to debate or rebut the report online. The committee members declined to comment on the matter. Gaetz has faced scrutiny over sexual misconduct allegations, which he denies. He was previously tapped by President Trump to serve as attorney general but later withdrew from consideration. The Ethics Committee was investigating Gaetz when he resigned, sparking a debate on whether the report should be released for Senate vetting. Initially, the committee voted against releasing the report, but later changed its decision.
