Lawyer John Clune backed the release of a House ethics committee report into Gaetz.
John Clune, the lawyer representing the then-teenager at the center of the House probe into former Representative Matt Gaetz, called on Republicans to release the report into their findings.President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he plans to nominate Gaetz, a Florida Republican and staunch ally, as his attorney general. Many in Washington were shocked by the announcement, and skepticism arose about whether enough Republican senators would vote to confirm him.
Clune said the report should be released in a post to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday.'Mr. Gaetz's likely nomination as Attorney General is a perverse development in a truly dark series of events. We would support the House Ethics Committee immediately releasing their report. She was a high school student and there were witnesses,' Clune wrote.Newsweek reached out to Gaetz's political team and office for comment via email.
