TL;DR Summary

The House Ethics Committee is set to meet to discuss a report on allegations of sexual misconduct against former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has been nominated by President-elect Trump for attorney general. Gaetz, who resigned from Congress, faces accusations of paying for sex and having sex with a minor, which he denies. The report's release could impact his confirmation, as even some GOP lawmakers oppose his nomination. The Justice Department previously investigated Gaetz but did not press charges. The situation is further complicated by a hacker reportedly accessing unredacted legal depositions related to the case.
