House Blocks Release of Gaetz Ethics Report Amidst Controversy
TL;DR Summary
The House voted 206-198 to keep a potentially damaging ethics report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz private, following a Democratic push for its release. The Ethics Committee had previously blocked the report, which includes allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use against Gaetz, who denies them. The decision comes after Gaetz resigned from Congress and withdrew from consideration as attorney general. The debate continues over whether releasing such reports sets a precedent, with Gaetz expected to run for Florida governor in 2026.
