The U.S. House Ethics Committee is expected to meet behind closed doors Wednesday as some Senate Republicans call for it to share the findings of its probe into allegations of sexual misconduct involving Donald Trump’s attorney general pick Matt Gaetz.
Gaetz, 42, resigned his House of Representatives seat last week, hours after President-elect Trump tapped him to lead the Justice Department, a move that raised questions in Congress as to the future of the panel’s investigation into allegations that Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old girl.
The Justice Department that Trump wants Gaetz to lead conducted its own three-year investigation into allegations of sex trafficking by the then-lawmaker, which produced no criminal charges, and also brought two criminal cases against Trump after he left office in 2021, neither of which went to trial.
I don’t understand the issue.
He was a senator so they investigated him.
Now GOP is saying he resigned that seat, so they can’t release the investigation (they shouldn’t be used investigate basic citizens is their arguement)
So… when he’s up for AG, they do a background check right? Release it then as soon as his hearing starts. He’s not a basic citizen then, he’s being checked out for the job.
Release it as soon as he attempts to take any governmental position.
I’m pretty sure we all understand the actual “issue.”
He’s a sexual abuser, like almost everyone our rapist, pedophile president elect has surrounded himself with?
