Demand transparency on ethics probe before Attorney General nomination
To: Sen. Scott, Rep. Webster, Sen. Rubio
From: A constituent in Clermont, FL
November 15, 2024
As a registered Florida Republican and active voter, the nomination of Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General raises ethical concerns due to a long-running ethics probe into his conduct that has not been publicly resolved. His resignation from Congress occurred shortly before the House Ethics Committee was expected to release its report on the investigation into alleged misconduct. As representatives of Florida, you have a responsibility to advocate for transparency and accountability by demanding the release of this ethics report. The American people deserve clarity on whether the nominee upheld ethical standards appropriate for this critical position before he potentially assumes this role. Making the report's findings public is crucial for a comprehensive vetting process to maintain trust in institutions. Releasing the report serves the principles of good governance that citizens expect from their elected officials.
