Trump is calling senators directly to lobby for Gaetz AG confirmation as House Republicans weigh burying ethics report on him

CNN  

CNN — President-elect Donald Trump is doubling down on his efforts to ensure former Rep. Matt Gaetz is confirmed as attorney general, calling some senators directly to discuss the Florida Republican and ask for their support, two sources familiar with the outreach told CNN. Trump views Gaetz as key to Cabinet Gaetz’s selection was almost immediately complicated by the existing House ethics probe into allegations of misconduct, including “sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.” Gaetz resigned from Congress after Trump’s announcement and shortly before the committee was expected to release details of its findings. Fate of Gaetz ethics report in question Gaetz’s potential confirmation has been complicated by growing calls from Senate Republicans for the House ethics panel to release its report on him. The top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Susan Wild, told reporters that “everybody on the committee now has the report, so they’ve got the opportunity to be reviewing it.” Johnson, however, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” Sunday that the report is “not finished” and is only in “rough draft form.” Even as Republicans say the report that members have access to is not final, one source said that the current version includes the thrust of the key findings from the multi-year investigation, and that any further changes would be minor.
