The House Ethics Committee postponed plans to vote Friday on whether to release the report Matt Gaetz despite growing calls to advertise it after Donald Trump nominated the first Congressman from Florida as his Attorney General.

The meeting, which had been scheduled before Gaetz resigned from Parliament on Wednesdayhas been postponed, committee chairman Michael Guest said Political on Friday, dispelling rumors that the meeting was abruptly canceled. It was not immediately clear when the meeting would take place.

Democrats and Republicans alike have expressed their concerns surrounding Gaetz in the new post, with many pointing to allegations of sexual misconduct at the center of the ethics commission’s probe.

The commission reviewed broad allegations that he engaged in sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use and accepted bribe.

Republican Sen. John Cornyn said he “absolutely” wants to see the report’s findings, while Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin appointed it is “absolutely essential” that he have access to the full report while his background and qualifications for the AG role are investigated.

North Carolina Republican Rep. Greg Murphy said “most people” in the House believe Gaetz resigned to prevent the release of the report.

“It’s very suspicious that he suddenly resigned because other members who are nominated for the positions did not resign,” Murphy said. Hill. “I know if he continues to press this appointment, it will all come out.”

Before Gaetz resigned Wednesday, House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest laid out the committee’s plans: “Once the investigation is complete, the Ethics Committee will meet as a committee. We will then return to our findings. If Matt Gaetz is still a member of Congress, then this will happen. If Matt has resigned, then this ethics investigation, like many others in the past, will once again be closed.”

On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Guest, pressing him to release the report: “We cannot allow this critical information from a long-running bipartisan investigation into public allegations to be withheld from the American people, given that is directly relevant to the question of whether Mr. Gaetz is qualified and fit to be next attorney general of the United States.”

If confirmed by the Senate, Gaetz would head the very department that investigated him.

The Justice Department has ended its multi-year investigation into whether the Florida Republican broke any laws after allegations emerged that he paid for sex with minors. In 2023, the DOJ announced it would not press charges against Gaetz, a year after his associate, Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty to sex trafficking of a minor and other crimes. He is serving an 11-year prison sentence.

Amid widespread bipartisan calls for the report to be released, MAGA Republican Rep. Jim Jordan disagreed, saying it was against House rules. The Ohio congressman told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday: “Well, I understand that it shouldn’t be public. So if it shouldn’t be according to the rules, it shouldn’t go public.”

Meanwhile, a lawyer representing the woman with whom Gaetz allegedly had sex when she was a minor expressed support for the release of the report.

“The likely nomination of Mr. Gaetz as Attorney General is a perverse development in a truly dark series of events,” John Clune he wrote Thursday on X. “We would support the House Ethics Committee to release its report immediately. She was a high school student and they were witnesses.”
