The House Ethics Committee has decided to release its report into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.

Lawmakers on the secretive panel voted to make the report public after the final votes of this year which are slated for Thursday.

The House Ethics Committee's multi-year investigation into Gaetz, involving allegations of sex with a minor and illicit drug use, came to an abrupt halt last month after he resigned from Congress hours after President-elect Donald Trump tapped him to be his attorney general.

Gaetz dropped out of consideration amid quiet but steady GOP opposition, but the committee nevertheless lost jurisdiction over the probe when Gaetz left the House of Representatives.

Gaetz has consistently denied any accusations of wrongdoing, and an earlier federal investigation into the allegations ended without charges against him.

His resignation came just before the committee was expected to meet to consider releasing the report.

Will be interesting to see if the report is why he resigned from Congress and withdrew from the AG nomination, or if it ends up being some smoke and evidence of poor judgement, but no criminal actions.

Personally, I'd like to see every Ethics Committee report on every sitting member of Congress made public. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Maybe it's exonerating and he is in favor of it being released.

Exactly. That and the public should have more involvement and transparency in the investigations so we don't end up with government investigating government.
