Gaetz Ethics Report Sparks GOP Division Amidst Nomination Controversy

Senator Chuck Grassley, the incoming Republican chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has urged the House Ethics Committee to release its report on former Representative Matt Gaetz to expedite his consideration for the role of Attorney General. Grassley and other GOP senators, including John Cornyn and Markwayne Mullin, believe the report is crucial for evaluating Gaetz's fitness for the position, given allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. However, House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans oppose releasing the report, arguing it sets a bad precedent for former lawmakers.
