Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) argued the drama over whether or not the House Ethics Committee will release its investigative report on former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz is a “distraction” from President-elect Donald Trump‘s plan for his nominee.

Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Gaetz, has been one of the most controversial among his Cabinet picks, specifically because the former representative was subject to a House Ethics Committee investigation for three years. When asked about the possibility of the report being released and showing that Gaetz committed no wrongdoing, Swalwell theorized that the discussion this report is creating is drawing attention away from “the real issues” with Trump’s nominee.
