Withholding the ethics report compromises the Senate's constitutional duty to properly vet cabinet nominees and conceals critical information about potential criminal conduct. The documented evidence and witness testimonies must be made available for proper scrutiny of an attorney general nominee – history shows there is precedent of committee's releasing reports on former members of Congress, and Gaetz should not be allowed to shirk responsibility for his alleged actions.
