Release the report. That is our response to President Trump’s nomination of Congressman Matt Gaetz to the position of attorney general and his resignation, hours later, from the People’s House. That was in advance of a scheduled vote on Friday of the House Ethics Committee on whether to release its investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use on the part of the now-erstwhile lawmaker. The feds have eschewed charges. 

It requires no injury to the presumption of innocence to also maintain that the American people have a right to know what has been discovered about the man who could be their top law enforcement official. The allegations relate to sexual activity with an underage girl and the possibility of sexual trafficking, along with violations of House rules. These comprise accepting impermissible gifts and sharing lewd images in the chamber.
