Vice-President-elect JD Vance is shoring up Senate support for Donald Trump’s cabinet picks as he brings attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz along on a visit to the Capitol.
The nomination has caused controversy among Republicans and Democrats, as the House Ethics Committee is expected to meet amid a debate over whether it should release a report on Gaetz.
The report includes the findings of an investigation sparked by allegations against the former congressman of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, all of which Gaetz has denied.
He resigned from the House of Representatives after Trump announced he wanted the Florida politician to be America’s top lawyer. Now that Gaetz is no longer a member of the House, it’s uncertain if the report will be made public.
