President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, faced growing scrutiny from his fellow congressional Republicans on Thursday, with one saying he "absolutely" wants to review an unreleased report examining allegations of sexual misconduct.

A lawyer representing an alleged victim also called for the report to be made public.

Senator John Cornyn said he and other lawmakers should get access to the report by the House of Representatives Ethics Committee, which examined allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
