Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., is forcing a floor vote this week to require the House Ethics Committee to release a report on its yearslong investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.

Casten introduced a resolution Tuesday that would force the bipartisan ethics panel to act. Because the resolution is “privileged,” it must be brought to the floor within two legislative days for a vote.
President-elect Donald Trump named Gaetz, his close ally, as his pick for attorney general on Nov. 13. Gaetz also resigned from Congress that day.
But Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration a little more than a week later over opposition from GOP senators, largely related to the ethics probe into allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
