House Speaker Blocks Release of Damning Gaetz Report
Following Rep. Gaetz’s resignation and President-elect Trump’s nomination of him as Attorney General, I am strongly requesting that the House Ethics Committee not release its report on allegations against him. This action is consistent with House tradition and prevents setting a harmful precedent of investigating former members. The committee’s jurisdiction is limited to sitting members of Congress; releasing the report would open a Pandora’s Box. I believe upholding this established rule is vital.
