'Recognize the urgency': Watchdog demands immediate release of FBI summaries in Gaetz case

A nonpartisan watchdog is seeking a preliminary injunction in its ongoing lawsuit seeking interview records from the federal investigation of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has been nominated for attorney general. American Oversight filed its motion Tuesday as it seeks FBI summaries of witness interviews conducted during its investigation against Gaetz, including sex trafficking of a minor. The American people deserve to know the facts before the Senate votes on his nomination.” American Oversight said in its motion there is now “an elevated and significant public interest in the quick release of these records” due to “the unusual circumstances of Mr. Gaetz potentially leading the agency holding the records relating to his investigation," The New York Times reported. An attorney for two women testified that Gaetz paid them for sex, including one instance in which the women said Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct with a 17-year-old girl while serving in Congress.
