The Senate Judiciary Committee asked the FBI on Wednesday for its"complete evidentiary file" of the closed investigation into the alleged sex trafficking of an underage girl by Matt Gaetz, whom President-elect Donald Trump has tapped as the next U.S. attorney general. He resigned from the U.S. House of Representatives, where he represented a Florida district, after Trump announced that he would nominate him to lead the Department of Justice.But a sprawling probe into alleged sexual misconduct and other behavior by Gaetz was being conducted by the House Ethics Committee until Gaetz resigned, removing him from the panel's jurisdiction.
Gaetz's selection has stoked outrage and panic from Trump's critics and has reportedly bred concerns even among some of his Senate allies, whose support will be needed to confirm his nomination.
