WASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin called on the House of Representatives on Sunday to share an unreleased ethics report into alleged sexual misconduct involving a 17-year-old girl by Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general.

"It's in a rough draft form. Was not yet ready to be released, and since Matt Gaetz left the Congress, I don't think it's appropriate to do so," Johnson said.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Sunday “of course” the House Ethics Committee should release its report on the misconduct allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who resigned from Congress last week when President-elect Trump tapped him to be attorney general.
