Senate Republicans Signal They Want Gaetz Ethics Probe Details

(Bloomberg) -- Pressure is rising in the US Senate for details on the House’s sexual misconduct probe into Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump’s controversial pick for attorney general, as even some members of the president-elect’s own party view the nomination warily.

Lawmakers were stunned Wednesday when Trump tapped Gaetz, a polarizing and embattled House lawmaker, to be the nation’s top law enforcement officer. Several Republican senators have expressed concerns, and Trump can only afford to lose four GOP votes on any nominee.

“We should gain access to all relevant information by whatever means necessary,” Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn said on Wednesday.

Cornyn, who has previously sparred with Trump, suggested that the Senate needs to review the House ethics report during the confirmation process.

This would be the first time I’ve ever supported Cornyn. I vote against him each election he’s on the ballot.

I’m glad he isn’t rolling over. And John stand clear of Lindsey Graham he’s a total push over.
