As the House Ethics Committee report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz continues to dominate the conversation given his contentious nomination to be President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested releasing all such investigations against members of her own party.

"For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate, If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see. Yes.. all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews. But not just those, there's more, Epstein wasn't/isn't the only asset. If we're going to dance, let's all dance in the sunlight. I'll make sure we do," the lawmaker said in a post on X.

The not-so-veiled threat comes as some of Trump's most staunch supporters are mounting a defense of Gaetz to make sure the president-elect gets the cabinet he wants. Elon Musk, who has taken an active role in Republican politics during the presidential campaign and since Donald Trump's victory, defended the nomination.

"Matt Gaetz has 3 critical assets that are needed for the AG role: a big brain, a spine of steel and an axe to grind. He is the Judge Dredd America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison. Gaetz will be our Hammer of Justice," Musk said in a post on his social media platform.

He went on to address the allegations against him, saying he deems them "worth less than nothing." "Under our laws, a man is considered innocent until proven guilty. If AG Garland (an unprincipled D-bag) could have secured a conviction against Gaetz, he would have, but he knew he could not. Case closed," Musk added.

Trump himself is also reportedly pressuring senators directly to confirm Gaetz's nomination. The identities of the targeted senators has not been disclosed, but the reporting illustrates his intent to have the former lawmaker be appointed despite the scandal, where he has been accused of having sex with a minor and paying two other women for sex in 2017.

The House Ethics Committee is under pressure to release its report on Gaetz, which revolved around sexual misconduct involving a minor, illicit drug use, and accepting improper gifts. However, the committee's jurisdiction ended when Gaetz stepped down from Congress last Thursday after being nominated by Trump. He has rejected all allegations against him.
