[ tel:8559712474 ]DIAL 855-971-2474 to call your representative and ask them to vote YES
to release the ethics report on former member of the House of
Representatives Matt Gaetz, AKA Trump's pick for attorney general of the
United States.
Dear MoveOn member,
BREAKING NEWS: Representative Sean Casten will introduce a procedural move
to push for the House of Representatives to vote on releasing the Ethics
Committee report on former Representative Matt Gaetz.^1

This is BIG. The American people deserve to know the truth about Matt
Gaetz, the person that Trump is set to nominate to be the United States
Attorney General.

Gaetz's shady record and behavior are nothing new, but in case you didn’t
know:

* There are claims that he assaulted a teenager.^2
* Gaetz was investigated by the Department of Justice for sex
trafficking of a minor.^3
* He was also being investigated by House Republicans for illicit drug
use, misuse of campaign funds, and accepting bribes.^4

The House Ethics Committee voted not to release the Gaetz report
yesterday, and Democrats are now pushing to introduce a privileged
resolution forcing a vote of the full House to require the panel to
release the full ethics report.^5 The ethics panel is evenly split between
Democrats and Republicans, and not a single Republican voted with the
Democrats who wanted to release the report.^6

[ tel:8559712474 ]Call 855-971-2474 to demand your representative push for transparency
and, more importantly, accountability for former Rep. Matt Gaetz by voting
to release the ethics report into his behavior.

In case you missed it, Gaetz conveniently left his position as a member of
the House of Representatives last week, pausing the investigation into his
activity as a member of Congress, when Trump announced Gaetz as his pick
for attorney general.^7

The new ethics report could include damning information on Matt Gaetz and
now Republicans on the House Ethics Committee are refusing to release it?
We cannot let this information go unseen by the public, especially as
Gaetz has the potential to step into one of the most powerful positions in
the country as attorney general in Trump's new administration in 2025. 

If Democrats show up in full force, and we can get just eight Republicans
to vote with us, we can force the report to be released. [ tel:8559712474 ]Call
855-971-2474 to demand your representative vote for the ethics report on
Rep. Matt Gaetz be released to the American public as soon as possible.

What’s worse is that Trump knows all about the speculation on Gaetz's past
indiscretions, and he still wants him to be attorney general of the United
States. But that's just to be expected from Trump and his future extremist
administration. If Trump wants Gaetz to be the next attorney general, why
not let it all out in the open now and free Gaetz of any rumors of
corruption? And if Republicans have nothing to hide, why wouldn't they
vote for full transparency about what's in this report? [ tel:8559712474 ]Call
855-971-2474 to demand your representative take action and vote YES to
release the ethics report into Gaetz' behavior.

Thanks for all you do.
