Lawmakers threaten to vote again on Gaetz report if he gets Trump job

• "We felt we should follow precedents, but there's a whole bunch of us that if he's going to be nominated for a senior position, this will come back," Bacon told Axios.
• Gaetz — who has faced allegations of sexual misconduct with minors — has vehemently denied wrongdoing.

The intrigue: A sizable number of Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), have argued it would break precedent to release a report on a former member.

• Casten slammed the notion that it would break precedent, posting on X: "The House Ethics Committee released reports on former Members in the 1980s, the 1990s & the 2000s. But House Republicans know this."
• "I laid out these precedents in my resolution that was read aloud in front of the full House moments before they voted to hide the Gaetz Report," he added.

• "It's an ongoing matter of public interest. We'll see if our former colleague is presented for any other administration positions. It certainly is not a moot matter," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) told Fox.

The big picture: While Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress or going through the confirmation process, he is widely expected to run for governor in 2026.
