Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, is meeting with senators on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning along with Vice President-elect JD Vance, making his case for the job hours before the House Ethics Committee set to discuss his report on him.

It has several senators urged the House Ethics Committee to release its report to Gaetz over allegations of sexual abuse and illegal drug use before considering his confirmation.

The Justice Department also spent years investigating allegations of sexual misconduct against Gaetz, as well as allegations of obstruction of justice, before informing Gaetz last year that it would not press charges. Gaetz has long denied any wrongdoing related to the allegations investigated by congressional and Justice Department investigations.

After Trump announced Gaetz as his attorney general pick, the Florida congressman resigned from the House, meaning the House Ethics Committee no longer has jurisdiction to continue its investigation of him — but Republicans and Democrats have argued over whether breaking that precedent is necessary to the Senate to carry out its constitutional duty to advise and consent to presidential nominations.

Republican Sens. Josh Hawley and Lindsey Graham met with Vance and Gaetz Wednesday morning.

Graham told reporters that the meeting went well and that Gaetz deserves a fair nomination process.

“Here’s what I told him, no rubber stamps and no lynch mobs. I’m not going to be part of a process that leaks information that shouldn’t be leaked,” Graham said. “I’m not going to legitimize the process of destroying the man because people don’t like his policies. He will be held accountable in the confirmation process. He deserves a chance to make his case why he should be attorney general.”

Hawley entered the meeting by telling reporters that, in his opinion, Congress should move forward with Gaetz’s confirmation process and respond to the allegations against him.

“Do the hearing and have him answer everything under oath in public,” Hawley told reporters.

The fate of the Gaetz report rests in the hands of the committee, and it is not clear whether the committee will vote on whether to release the report.

If it comes to a vote, a majority of the five Democrats and five Republicans on the committee must approve its release — meaning at least one Republican must defect to join Democrats in forcing its release.
