WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) - The U.S. House Committee on Ethics is deadlocked on whether to release its report into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, whose nomination to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general has been plagued by controversy. Gaetz spent the day meeting with senators weighing his nomination, and those meetings are expected to continue Thursday. "There was not an agreement by the committee to release the report,” said Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.). For now, the public will be kept in the dark about the findings on President-elect Trump's nominee. "There's certainly information in there I'd think they'd want to see,” said Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.). The committee investigated a number of allegations against Gaetz, including sexual misconduct.  He has denied doing anything wrong or illegal. Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville is calling on his colleagues to support Gaetz.  "I've known him a long time and I'm fully supportive of him,” said Tuberville. Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin sent a letter to the House committee requesting the report. “Before a president puts a name out in public, they usually have at least a preliminary cursory FBI review to see if there's something that they've missed that may be important in consideration of the nomination,” said Durbin. The committee will meet again on December 5th.
