## House Democrat to force floor vote this week to release Matt Gaetz ethics report

Authored by nbcnews.com

WASHINGTON — Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., is forcing a floor vote this week to require the House Ethics Committee to release a report on its yearslong investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. Casten introduced a resolution Tuesday that would force the bipartisan ethics panel to act.

Because the resolution is “privileged,” it must be brought to the floor within two legislative days for a vote.

Before Gaetz bowed out, the Ethics Committee — five Republicans and five Democrats — had deliberated behind closed doors and ultimately deadlocked along party lines over making the report public.

At issue is whether the panel should release a report to the public about a former member of Congress.

Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., is trying to make the Ethics Committee's report into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., public.

“Resigning from Congress should not allow Members to avoid accountability for allegations as serious as those faced by Matt Gaetz.

Withholding this report from the American people would impede the dignity and integrity of the legislative proceedings of the House.”. »
