On Thursday, House Republicans twice blocked the release of a potentially damaging report from the House Committee on Ethics regarding former Rep. Matt Gaetz, effectively burying allegations of sezual misconduct and drug abuse that had partially derailed his attempt to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general.In quick succession, the House voted along near party lines, with votes of 206-198 and 204-198, sending the matter back to the Ethics panel. Rep.Tom McClintock of California was the only Republican to break ranks, voting with Democrats to push for the public release of the scandal, the New York Post reported.
