US House Ethics panel to meet amid calls for report on Trump AG pick Matt Gaetz
U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee is expected to discuss next steps on Wednesday in its investigation into President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general pick Matt Gaetz, two sources with knowledge of the panel's plans said.
The sources were granted anonymity to discuss the bipartisan panel's inner workings.
A growing number of Trump's fellow Republicans in the U.S. Senate, which has a constitutional duty to confirm or reject high-level presidential appointments, have called on the House panel to turn over its findings on allegations of sexual misconduct involving a teenager and drug use by Gaetz.
It is uncertain whether the probe will continue because Gaetz, 42, resigned his seat in the Republican-controlled House on Wednesday, hours after Trump unveiled his choice of the lawmaker and as the probe was nearing completion. Gaetz denies any wrongdoing.
An attorney who said he represented two women who testified to the committee told ABC News on Monday that Gaetz had paid his clients, who were adults, for sex and that one of his clients witnessed Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old girl.
