House to Vote on Releasing Ethics Report on Former Rep. Matt Gaetz

Rep. Sean Casten pushes resolution to disclose findings from Gaetz investigation as Ethics Committee faces decision this week.

Rep. Sean Casten has introduced a privileged resolution to force the release of the House Ethics Committee's report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, requiring a vote within two legislative days.
The Ethics Committee's investigation into Gaetz included allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use but was halted after his resignation from Congress last month.
Casten's resolution cites precedent for releasing ethics reports on former lawmakers despite their departure from office, listing examples dating back to 1987.
Republican leaders oppose the resolution, arguing it is unusual to publish such reports after a member has left Congress, but a small number of GOP members may support the measure.
The Ethics Committee is scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss the report, following a prior meeting where members failed to reach consensus on its release.
