Sean Casten. \u201cThe House Ethics Committee has, on multiple occasions, released its report on Members who resigned while under investigation. This is the precedent House Republican leadership attempted to overturn when they voted earlier this month to hide the Gaetz Report.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m glad to see reports that the House Ethics Committee will rise above this partisanship and release the Gaetz Report. Resigning from Congress should not allow you to avoid accountability for allegations of serious misconduct.\u201d\n\nEarlier this month, Rep. Casten introduced a privileged resolution to force a vote by the full House of Representatives requiring the House Ethics Committee to release the Gaetz Report. House Republican leadership then passed a motion to kill the resolution.\n\nLast month, Rep. Casten led 97 House Democrats in a letter to the House Ethics Committee requesting the immediate release of its report into allegations of serious misconduct by former Congressman Matt Gaetz.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://casten.house.gov/media/press-releases/casten-statement-on-the-impending-release-of-the-gaetz-report"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8424259722232819, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
