The House Ethics Committee is navigating a crisis of credibility as it weighs whether to release the findings of its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, the attorney general nominee accused of sexual misconduct.

Two women are accusing former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz of paying them for sex. Florida attorney Joel Leppard said Gaetz paid through Venmo both of his clients for sex. The two women testified before the House Ethics Committee as well as in the federal investigation.

A partisan standoff appears to be brewing over whether a House Ethics Committee report will be released before the Senate considers President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for U.S. attorney general.

The president-elect is taking a flood-the-zone approach to his cabinet nominations, betting that the Senate won’t dare to turn them all down.

Donald Trump is creating a show of force that will help define his new term as he tries to leverage Matt Gaetz into the attorney general’s office.
