Trump recently nominated Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to serve as his attorney general. Meanwhile, the House Ethics Committee has completed a bipartisan investigation into Gaetz’s alleged misconduct—including allegations of sexual misconduct, drug use, and improper interactions with lobbyists—yet the findings remain undisclosed. Gaetz resigned from his congressional seat in a blatant attempt to prevent the report from being released. The Ethics Committee still has jurisdiction over former members, and as Gaetz is set to serve in the upcoming 119th Congress, the committee would also have jurisdiction then. They could vote to release the report immediately. Transparency and accountability are crucial to maintaining public trust in our government, especially when it concerns officials in positions of power.
We’re calling on all members of the House to demand that the Ethics Committee vote to release the Gaetz report without delay. Use this tool to send a quick email to your representative urging them to call on the House Ethics Committee to vote for the release of the report immediately.

The public deserves to know the truth about the serious allegations against him—only full transparency can ensure accountability in our government. Please take a decisive stand and call for the immediate release of this report.
