Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) “introduced an updated privileged resolution to try to force the bipartisan House Ethics Committee to release its investigative report on former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who was President-elect Donald Trump’s selection as attorney general,” ABC News reports.

Politico: “House leaders will have two legislative days to schedule a vote, which would only be successful if Casten gets a majority of the House to approve it.”

“House Ethics Chair Michael Guest said Monday that his panel will make its own decision about releasing the report into Matt Gaetz, regardless of Speaker Mike Johnson’s opinion that it should be kept under wraps,” Politico reports.

The Miami Herald confirms that the Ethics Report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is “highly damaging” — and could be leaked today.

John Clune, the lawyer for the then-minor who was the focus of the Matt Gaetz sex trafficking investigation, posted: “We would support the House Ethics Committee immediately releasing their report. She was a high school student and there were witnesses.”

“House Ethics Chair Michael Guest (R-MS) is seemingly sticking to his decision to not release his panel’s report about Matt Gaetz after the Floridian’s abrupt resignation Wednesday,” Politico reports.

Said Guest: “What happens in Ethics is confidential. We’re going to maintain that confidentiality.”

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said Thursday he will no longer voluntarily cooperate with a House Ethics Committee investigation into his conduct, calling the probe “uncomfortably nosey,” Politico reports.

Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) “gave part-time jobs to both his lover and his fiancée’s daughter, in possible violation of House ethics rules,” the New York Times reports.

New York Times: “Following a complaint, lawmakers are being asked to look into whether Ms. Mace, Republican of South Carolina, overcharged the program thousands of dollars for expenses related to her Washington townhouse.”

“According to the lawmaker familiar with the preliminary inquiry, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss it, the full committee will consider the details of the complaint over the coming days. The committee has not taken a vote to authorize an investigation.”

The House Ethics Committee said Wednesday it will conduct its own investigation into Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) following his recent indictment on federal bribery charges, CBS News reports.

Reps. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) and Wesley Hunt (R-TX) are under review by the House Ethics Committee for payments to private clubs from their campaign committees, Punchbowl News reports.

In both cases, the Office of Congressional Ethics – the non-partisan ethics watchdog – recommended that the Ethics Committee open full-scale investigations. The Ethics panel announced today it is still evaluating the cases.
