Rep. Susan Wild, the top Democrat on the House Ethics Committee, said the committee’s report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz should be made public, appearing to refute claims that this would be an unusual step.

President-elect Donald Trump tapped Gaetz to become the next attorney general last week, an immediately controversial choice given that the Justice Department investigated him on sex-trafficking allegations and House lawmakers investigated allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. The House panel was supposed to vote last week on whether to release its findings, but after Trump announced he would nominate the Florida Republican, Gaetz resigned from Congress. effective closure investigate.

Senators from both parties have called for the findings to be released anyway as they prepare for confirmation hearings for Trump’s nominees.

“It certainly should be released to the Senate, and I think it should be released to the public, as we have done with many other investigative reports in the past,” Wild, Democrat of Pennsylvania, told reporters on Monday, according to a report in Politico.

Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.) also told Politico that he would not bow to pressure from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who demanded that the report remain private. Johnson said On Monday, the New York Times worried that doing so would open a “Pandora’s box” in which it says the House Ethics Committee, with its vast resources and unlimited power, could effectively investigate private citizens and release reports about them.

“I appreciate Mike reaching out to her,” Guest told Politico after a phone call with the speaker. “I don’t see this having any impact on what we ultimately decide as a committee.”

The ethics committee is scheduled to meet on Wednesday to discuss how to handle the report and could vote to publish its findings. But the panel is split 5-5 between them republicans and Democratsand if there is a tie, the decision will go to the Republicans.

Wild, which recently lost her re-election bid, also told reporters Monday that she would wait to see how the commission acted before taking any further action.

Her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report or her plans if her colleagues vote not to go public.
