Durbin, Senate Judiciary Committee, Demand House Ethics Report on Gaetz Amid AG Confirmation

Nov 14, 2024, 03:18 PM

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin is calling on the House Ethics Committee to share its report and all relevant documentation on former Congressman Matt Gaetz with the Senate Judiciary Committee. This request comes in light of Donald Trump's election of Gaetz to be Attorney General. Durbin emphasized that the information could be relevant to Gaetz's confirmation process. Top Senate Democrats, including Durbin and Dick Blumenthal, support this request, while GOP senators on the panel, such as Lindsey Graham, Thom Tillis, and Josh Hawley, believe it is up to the House to decide on the matter. Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee want all records from the House Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz, whether the report is published or not.
