Democrat Floats New Tool to Force Matt Gaetz Report Release

1 week ago 7

Representative Sean Casten, an Illinois Democrat, is reportedly planning to introduce a privileged resolution that would force a vote of the full House to require the House Ethics Committee to release the investigation into alleged misconduct by former Representative Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican.

The House Ethics Committee on Wednesday did not agree to make public a report documenting their extensive investigation of Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's candidate for attorney general, according to multiple reports.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
