This all started before he was an issue. The probe opened in 2021 when the DOJ launched an investigation. While the DOJ closed the case Congress holds themselves to a higher standard and thus continued the investigation.
If he moves forward with his confirmation based off what I have heard the report can be requested by the Senate (and would be) and made public from there.
Congress holds themselves to a higher standard
This sounds like a joke.

I'll have to take your word for it. Congress seems like a wretched hive of scum and villainy from the outside.

There are some Members who are for sure! The key thing is that they don't do anything outwardly illegal or that would cast them in a negative light to most people. Push comes to shove if they do they have even more high-powered and well-respected friends. Gaetz had none of these everyone thinks he's a slimeball and a perv
