The House Ethics Committee's investigation into former Representative Matt Gaetz's alleged misconduct is highly relevant to his nomination for Attorney General. As such, releasing the findings would allow the Senate to properly vet Gaetz's background and suitability for this critical role overseeing federal law enforcement. Withholding the report would undermine transparency and hinder the Senate's advice and consent responsibilities. Given the grave implications for public trust in the Justice Department, the Ethics Committee report must come to light so senators can make a fully informed decision on Gaetz's fitness to serve as the nation's top law enforcement officer. Suppressing this independently produced congressional investigation would be an unacceptable dereliction of duty.
