A House Democrat is moving to force the chamber into voting on releasing an ethics report into Rep. Matt Gaetz.
He introduced it as a "privileged resolution," a mechanism that forces House leaders to consider it within two legislative days – putting the deadline on Thursday.

The House Ethics Committee's multi-year investigation into Gaetz, involving allegations of sex with a minor and illicit drug use, came to an abrupt halt last month after he resigned from Congress hours after President-elect Donald Trump tapped him to be his attorney general.
