The House Ethics Committee held a meeting on Wednesday as part of its investigation into now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz.
The House Ethics Committee has not reached an agreement to release its report on now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., the panel’s chairman told reporters on Wednesday. The bipartisan panel met behind closed doors for over two hours. Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., the last to leave the room, said, 'There was not an agreement by the committee to release the report.' Other members who left said little, with Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md.
The House Ethics Committee's inquiry into Gaetz abruptly ended last week when he resigned from Congress hours after being named President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. 'Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department,' Trump said in his announcement last Wednesday.
The Speaker of the House is not involved with those things. I am reacting to media reports that a report is currently in some draft form and was going to be released on what is now a former member of the House,' Johnson said Friday. 'I do not believe that that is an appropriate thing. It doesn't follow our rules and traditions and there is a reason for that.
