House ethics panel debates release of secret report into president-elect’s pick to run justice department
Donald Trump has dispatched JD Vance to Washington to shore up support for Matt Gaetz, the president-elect’s choice for attorney-general who faces accusations about his alleged sexual misconduct and drug use. Vance, the vice-president-elect, will act as a kind of “sherpa” for Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, the Fox News host Trump nominated for defence secretary, according to a person familiar with the mission.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a close Trump ally, has called for the ethics committee to keep its report secret. Michael Guest, the Mississippi Republican who chairs the committee, said, however, that the committee would make its own decision about how to proceed. The committee’s top Democrat, Pennsylvania congresswoman Susan Wild, said the report “absolutely should be released to the public”.
