'Highly damaging' Matt Gaetz ethics report 'could be leaked today': report

A House Ethics Committee report into Trump attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz could soon see the light of day.

Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown, whose work exposing the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein won her a George Polk Award, reports that "sources for Miami Herald/McClatchy confirm that the Ethics Report" into Gaetz is "highly damaging" and "could be leaked today."

Gaetz was has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee over allegations that he paid for sex with a woman who at the time was under 18 years old.

Although Gaetz also came under investigation from the United States Department of Justice over these accusations, no criminal charges against him were filed.

However, this did not stop the bipartisan House Ethics Committee from launching its own probe, and the committee's final report into Gaetz was due to drop later this month.

Gaetz resigned from Congress this week amid news that Trump had decided to nominate him to be the nation's top law enforcement official.
