Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz resigns amid ethics investigation, days after Trump's Attorney General nomination.

Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress after President-elect Donald Trump nominated him for Attorney General. His resignation, effective immediately, may end a long-running ethics investigation into alleged sexual misconduct and drug use. The House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a report on Gaetz, but his resignation means they no longer have jurisdiction to continue their probe. Florida's governor will set the timeline for a special election to replace Gaetz.
