When asked if he thought Matt Gaetz could be confirmed as attorney generalthe incoming Senate Majority Leader told ABC News he doesn’t know until they begin the Senate confirmation process.

“I don’t know until we start the process, and that’s what we intend to do with him and all the other potential nominees,” Sen. John Thune said. “None of this stuff is formal yet, but you know that when it is, we expect our committees to do their job and provide the advice and consent that is required under the Constitution.”

Gaetz, who was the subject of a House ethics investigation over allegations of sexual misconduct and illegal drug use, resigned from Congress on Wednesday following his nomination for attorney general by Trump. Sources told ABC News that the committee is set to meet this week to deliberate on whether to issue a final report on the issue.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who currently chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, called for the release of the report, saying Gaetz’s resignation raises “serious questions” about its contents.

“We cannot allow this valuable information from a bipartisan investigation to be withheld from the American people,” Durbin said in a statement Thursday.

The chairman of the House Ethics Committee, Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., declined to discuss the confidentiality of the investigation into Gaetz.

“What happens in ethics is confidential,” Guest told reporters Thursday.
