Gaetz Faces Intensified Scrutiny Amid Ethics Probe and GOP Concerns

An attorney representing witnesses in the House Ethics Committee's investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz is urging the release of the committee's report, claiming one witness testified to seeing Gaetz engage in sexual activity with a minor. Gaetz, who denies the allegations, was recently nominated by President-elect Trump for Attorney General. The Justice Department previously declined to charge Gaetz after a lengthy investigation. The call for transparency comes amid concerns over Gaetz's potential appointment and the ethics of withholding the report now that he has resigned from Congress.
