Matt Gaetz may be gone from the House and out of contention to be the next attorney general, but the effort to release an Ethics Committee report on allegations that Gaetz had sex with a minor is alive and well.
Democratic Rep. Sean Casten reintroduced a resolution on Tuesday that, if successful, would force the Ethics Committee to release the Gaetz report.
Casten first introduced the resolution at the end of November, with the legislation expiring over the Thanksgiving recess. The new resolution, which is due for a vote on the same day that the Ethics Committee is scheduled to meet on releasing the report, adds several examples of the House releasing ethics reports — on both Democrats and Republicans — after lawmakers had already resigned from their positions.
