Republican U.S. Senator John Cornyn told reporters on Thursday that he "absolutely" wants to review an unreleased congressional ethics report on Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz resigned, stopping the House Ethics Committee's investigation and leaving questions about the report.

The committee has been investigating allegations that Mr. Gaetz, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for attorney general, engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.

Matt Gaetz's immediate resignation from Congress on Wednesday came just days before a House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing its report on Gaetz, according to multiple reports. President-elect Donald Trump named Gaetz as his pick for U.

His resignation came the same day Donald Trump nominated him to be attorney general, but some Republicans think he had other motivations.

Republicans and Democrats alike insisted that the findings of the House Ethics Committee, which has been investigating the Florida Republican for years over sexual misconduct and other charges, be made public.

Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) called Thursday for the House Ethics Committee to release the results of its investigation into former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz’s conduct ahead of Senate considerations of President-elect Donald Trump’s planned nomination of Gaetz as attorney general.

The Florida Republican’s abrupt departure effectively halts a House investigation into allegations that he engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
