I am disappointed, but not surprised, that the Republicans on the Ethics Committee voted against releasing the report on Matt Gaetz.

I want to thank Rep. Casten (D-Illinois 6th District), for his House Resolution to release the report, which publicly states what Gaetz was investigated for and which included the following:

Sexual misconduct

Shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor

Illicit drug use

Misuse of state identification records

Converted campaign funds for personal use

Accepted a bribe, improper gratuity, or gift for impermissible special privileges

Dispensed funds to individuals he had a personal relationship with

Sought to obstruct government investigation into his conduct

While the findings of the investigation are still unknown, Caston’s resolution made me aware that the investigation was more comprehensive than I had known.

I hope the Ethics Committee makes the right choice and votes on Dec. 5 to release the report. The public deserves to know the findings of the committee, especially as Gaetz is Trump’s choice for Attorney General.
