The House of Representatives may still be forced to vote on a resolution seeking to release the ethics investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz even after the Florida Republican resigned from Congress and withdrew his name from consideration for President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet.

Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) filed a privileged resolution to immediately release the House Ethics Committee’s report into Gaetz, forcing a vote on the matter within two legislative days. Casten previously introduced a similar resolution last month, but that measure expired over the Thanksgiving holiday, he said in a press release.
