MSNBC - Ethics committee shocks Congress with secret vote to publish Gaetz report, reigniting sex scandal
The House Ethics Committee is set to release a report detailing allegations against Matt Gaetz, including misuse of government funds and sexual misconduct with a minor. This decision marks a reversal from a previous vote not to release the report. Gaetz has consistently denied any wrongdoing and was never charged, with most information about him stemming from the case of Joe Greenburg, a Florida tax collector who pled guilty.

The timing of the report's release coincides with political maneuvers involving Gaetz and former President Trump, raising questions about its impact on Gaetz's political future.
