The House Ethics Committee convened for a two-hour meeting on Wednesday to discuss the ethics report stemming from an investigation into former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. Gaetz, who had been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for the position of attorney general pending Senate confirmation, was the subject of allegations including sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
The House panel had been probing these allegations against Gaetz, but the investigation came to an abrupt end when Gaetz resigned from Congress last week. This move effectively halted the ethics probe into his conduct.
