House Ethics Panel Ends Gaetz Probe as Leak Allegations Surface

Speaker Mike Johnson and Ethics Chair Michael Guest address leaks allegedly tied to Rep. Susan Wild, while the committee concludes its work without releasing the Gaetz report.

Speaker Mike Johnson called for consequences after leaks from the Gaetz Ethics investigation were allegedly traced to Rep. Susan Wild, the panel's top Democrat.
The House Ethics Committee has reportedly wrapped up its work on the Gaetz investigation without scheduling further meetings for the current Congress.
Rep. Susan Wild allegedly admitted to leaking details of the Gaetz probe, though her office disputes the characterization of her actions.
The Ethics Committee deadlocked on releasing its report after Gaetz resigned from Congress to accept, and later withdraw from, a nomination as Attorney General under President-elect Trump.
Democrats continue to push for the report's release, while Republicans argue against setting a precedent for publishing findings on former members.
