Gaetz and Vance Rally GOP Senators Amid Controversy

TL;DR Summary
Matt Gaetz, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for Attorney General, met with Republican senators amid controversy over past allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. The House Ethics Committee decided not to release its report on Gaetz, who resigned from the House, ending their jurisdiction. Despite past Justice Department investigations that did not result in charges, Gaetz's confirmation is expected to be contentious, with some senators drawing parallels to Brett Kavanaugh's hearings. Democrats have requested FBI files on Gaetz, while Trump blames Democrats for targeting his nominees.
