Summary

Sen.-elect Adam Schiff has called Matt Gaetz 'disqualified' for Attorney General amid ongoing investigations and allegations of sexual misconduct.

A woman alleges she witnessed Gaetz with a minor at a party, intensifying scrutiny of his character and qualifications. Bipartisan concerns among Senate Republicans emerge, urging the release of the ethics investigation report even as House Speaker Mike Johnson argues against it.
