Here's what we're covering.
House Republicans have voted to block the release of a potentially damning report about Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's pick for Attorney general.
The House Ethics Committee had been investigating the former Republican representative for years over a slew of allegations ranging from sexual misconduct to illicit drug use.
After an hours long meeting yesterday, all of the Republicans on the committee voted not to share what they'd found, arguing that because their report wasn't complete, it should stay under wraps.
The decision sets up a potential clash with the Senate, where both Democratic and Republican senators have asked to see the committee's findings before they vote on whether to appoint Gaetz as the country's top law enforcement official.
One Republican suggested the Senate might even subpoena the House Ethics Committee to get the report.
Meanwhile, the Times has obtained one of the pieces of evidence the committee had access to, a chart showing a web of payments made on Venmo between Gates, dozens of his friends and associates of his who allegedly took part in drug fueled sex parties.
Notably, the chart documents payments from Gates to two women who reportedly testified to the committee that he'd hired them for sex.
