House ethics committee to release report into alleged misconduct; president-elect reacts to House report calling for former congresswoman to be investigated
After leaving Congress and seeing his bid for attorney general collapse, Matt Gaetz headed for the sort of place rightwing figures looking to stay relevant go, the Guardian’s Joseph Gedeon reports:
Former Florida Republican congressman Matt Gaetz has secured a prime-time slot at One America News Network (OANN), a broadcaster known for its staunch support of Donald Trump and controversial election coverage.
The report is now expected to be made public after the House’s final day of votes this year as lawmakers leave Washington for the holidays, those sources said.
The vote, which has not previously been reported, amounts to a stark reversal for the panel after it had voted along party lines in late November not to release the results of the investigation. The decision to release the report suggests that some Republicans ultimately decided to side with Democrats on the matter, and it is unclear if the committee will once again change course now that it has voted.
