Republican U.S. Senator John Cornyn told reporters on Thursday that he "absolutely" wants to review an unreleased congressional ethics report on Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general.

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.

"I think there should not be any limitations on the Senate Judiciary Committee's investigation, including whatever the House Ethics Committee has generated," Cornyn said.
