The U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee is set to meet Wednesday to decide whether to release its investigative report on former Representative Matt Gaetz, who was accused of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use before he was picked by President-elect Donald Trump to be attorney general in his new administration.
This was pretty much assumed to be dead in the water after Gaetz resigned. It could have been, but the fact that the Republican-majority house committee isn’t 100% jumping at the opportunity to sweep things under the rug is a thing that’s happening. Maybe it won’t go all the way, but they are discussing. That’s a thing that’s happening.
Now, if it were one of those “(person) should do something” or “(committee) could do this thing that’s in their power on paper but totally in the author’s imagination in practice” things, sure. But you’ve got people talking about releasing a report on someone arguably not in their jurisdiction. That’s something.
