Controversy Surrounds Gaetz's Potential AG Role Amid Ethics Probe

TL;DR Summary
Pressure is mounting for the release of a House Ethics Committee report on allegations against Rep. Matt Gaetz, who resigned from Congress amid accusations of sexual misconduct with a minor. Gaetz's resignation has halted the committee's ability to punish him, but there are calls for transparency as he is nominated for Attorney General. The allegations involve Gaetz's connections to convicted sex trafficker Joel Greenberg and claims of illegal activities at a 2017 party. Despite the Justice Department closing its probe without charges, the Ethics Committee's findings remain a point of contention in Gaetz's potential confirmation.
