Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) resignation from Congress came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a "highly damaging" report outlining its investigation into the Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the probe.

President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Getz to be attorney general Wednesday.
