The morality panel’s report on the physical misconduct allegations against Matt Gaetz, who Donald Trump has appointed as the US attorney general, should not be made public, according to US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson. Given that Gaetz is not a member of Congress, according to Mike Johnson, publishing the document would be a awful breach of protocol and set a bad precedent. He abruptly resigned from the Congress shortly after becoming the attorney general, avoiding the soon-to-be-released ethics commission record.
Republicans are certain that Gaetz wo n’t be confirmed by the Senate because he is a contentious choice. The publication of the document has been extremely underrequited. A vote was scheduled for today to determine whether or not to release the report, but it was postponed.
Gaetz, 42, who denies any wrongdoing, resigned from Congress on Wednesday, bringing the morality sensor to an end two weeks before the council had been expected to launch the report.
A 17-year-old woman was the subject of a nearly three-year investigation by the former congressman into sex-trafficking allegations. His business claimed that prosecutors had informed him that he would not face charges in 2023.
Although initially he claimed as Speaker, he may not be a part of the decision-making process, Mike Johnson said,” The rules of the House have always been that a former associate is beyond the control of the ethics commission.”
