Speaker Mike Johnson urges House Ethics Committee not to release Matt Gaetz report

There are a growing number of senators asking to seet the ethics report on President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general pick, Matt Gaetz.

I want to know exactly how much money is in the slush that our senators and congresspersos pay off women with. Also want the names of every one that that has used that "special" fund paid for by us!

[MaryYando-kj]

I've got a better idea .how about they open up ALL the books on the senators and congressmen and women who've dipped into the "slush fund" and insider trading??

[AttorneyVZLA]

Imagine all the records that now can be open about former representatives and senators if they set this precedent….

[ocvegasproperty]

Release them all along with Epstein list

[possumverde]

Taxpayers paid for it. It should be released. Transparency in government and all that.

[Jack-eew]

If you released one you have to release them all !
And the slush fund payment plan to the victims that you’ve been paying with we the people money.
Naughty Congress people and senators

[JWilletts]

Nothing says "We didn't find anything!" quite like hiding the report from the public....

[eileenvernor]

Yeah, let's release all of the reports for any and all previously elected! Great reading!

[Trollkungen]

The corporate media hasn't learned anything!

[agent.]

If the report was funded by tax payer money then we the people have a right to read it! Its public property

[Zmann-dp]

Have we not learned how terrible the news is over the last 8 years

[kimfort]

I think it's only right that if the House Ethics Committee releases Matt Gaetz report then every senator and congressman/congresswoman needs to have a full background report done on them. From the time they turned 18 to the present day. Everything that a senator or congressman or congresswoman has done in the past needs to be on the report and released to the American people.
What's far is far.

[stevenjamison]

An innocent man would WANT it to be released.

[Bubbagump]

Why? If you're not hiding anything, you have nothing to fear.

[craigpedigo]

The only people worried about opening "Pandora's Box" are those with something to hide... Sounds like time for a Freedom of Information request. While there still IS such a thing.

[AudraGibson]

Hmmm… now why would they not want that released?

[sgtbattleaxe]

As a registered Republican who voted for Trump, I want to see the results! I voted for Trump, in part, because I wanted transparency in our government! BOTH SIDES! Not just for the Dems! Such hypocrisy!!

[tadrod]

why would they not release it? Gaetz is going to fill a sensitive and important role.

Mike Moses —so much for truth and honesty Mr. Moses

[onyx]

Yes because why would you want to hold a colleague accountable for allegedly molesting a child?
