President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general faced growing scrutiny from his fellow congressional Republicans, with one saying he "absolutely" wants to review an unreleased report examining allegations of sexual misconduct.

Republican senators are preparing for a robust vetting of Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Justice Department, with a keen interest in details from a House Ethics Committee investigation into the former congressman from Florida.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said he “absolutely” wants full disclosure on the House probe, which was expected to be released formally this week before the Panama City Beach Republican’s abrupt resignation from this Congress and the next. Though the investigation has paused, a version of the document is already widely expected to leak.
