The watchdog group American Oversight filed a motion to compel the Justice Department to release records of its sex trafficking investigation on Matt Gaetz, highlighting public interest.
F.B.I. declined to release the documents, claiming an exemption under Freedom of Information Act, while American Oversight has sought access since the investigation concluded.
The case's significance intensified as Donald Trump nominated Gaetz for attorney general, prompting calls for transparency regarding the ongoing ethical investigations against him.
American Oversight's motion also emphasized a substantial public interest in quickly releasing records related to Gaetz, who may lead the agency involved in his inquiry.
