The House voted along party lines to table two resolutions that would compel the House Ethics Committee to release the findings of its yearslong investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), possibly bringing an end to outside efforts to force the panel to act.
The House shot down two separate resolutions on Thursday seeking to publish the committee’s findings into whether Gaetz committed sexual misconduct and illicit drug use while in office, instead voting to refer the measure to the Ethics Committee. The votes indicate the report will likely never see the light of day as the Ethics Committee has remained deadlocked on whether to publish the report.
