Republican Sen. Mike Rounds has expressed his desire to access the House Ethics Committee report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz. This comes after Speaker Mike Johnson requested that the committee withhold the report from senators reviewing Gaetz for the position of attorney general. Rounds emphasized the importance of senators having access to such reports in the nomination process.
Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has also voiced his interest in reviewing the committee's findings on Gaetz. The former congressman has faced allegations of potential sexual misconduct, drug use, and other misconduct, which he has consistently denied.
