Summary

House Ethics Committee Republicans temporarily blocked releasing findings from a probe into allegations of sexual misconduct and other accusations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz, now Trump’s nominee for attorney general.

The report may be reconsidered on December 5, as Senate Republicans deliberate his controversial nomination.

Gaetz denies the allegations, including claims he had sex with a 17-year-old.

Senate Democrats have requested FBI records on past investigations. GOP allies praise Gaetz’s loyalty to Trump’s agenda.

    And since the media has abandoned any semblance of journalistic integrity under their oligarch owners, they are failing their duty to accurately educate the populace on both current and past events like they once did fairly reliably.
