Summary

Sen. Lindsey Graham defended Matt Gaetz, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, saying allegations of sexual misconduct should not disqualify him based on “a media report.”

Gaetz denies the claims, which include sexual misconduct with a high school student, drug use, and improper gifts, asserting they were part of an extortion plot.

While the FBI convicted someone for extortion related to the allegations, Gaetz was not charged.

Some Senate Republicans, like Sen. John Cornyn, are pressing for the release of a bipartisan House Ethics Committee report on the matter.

    I actually totally agree, here… Instead of relying on various media spin, we should be basing our opinions on the official report from the House Ethics Committee. Release the fuckin’ report.
