What’s New
The House Ethics Committee is set to release its investigative report on former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz on Monday, following a bipartisan committee vote taken Dec. 5 according to CBS News.
Newsweek contacted Gaetz’s press contact via email on Sunday for comment.
Why It Matters
Gaetz recently withdrew from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump‘s attorney general nominee, citing the “unfair distraction” of calls for the ethics report’s release.
The ethics report’s findings could significantly impact both Gaetz’s political future and the broader landscape of congressional accountability.
As Gaetz positioned himself for a prominent anchor role at One America News Network (OANN) and remains a potential candidate for positions in a future Trump administration, the report’s contents may further influence public trust and political appointments.
The committee, which consists of 10 members evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, approved the release with support from at least two Republican members.
