Trump transition updates: Trump taps America First think tank CEO as agriculture secretary

Linda McMahon, who was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to spearhead the Department of Education, said she is "hopeful" for Senate confirmation in a post on X.

McMahon, who is a former WWE exec, wrote, in part, "I look forward to working collaboratively with students - educators - parents and communities to strengthen our educational system; ensuring every child regardless of their demographics is prepared for a bright future."

McMahon added: "Thank you for this extraordinary opportunity. I am ready to Serve!"

This comes as a scathing lawsuit details how the education secretary nominee and her husband allegedly fostered a culture of sexual abuse while president and CEO of WWE.

McMahon’s lawyer, Laura Brevetti, told ABC News the allegations are "baseless" and filled with lies and misrepresentations.

Tennessee Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen appeared on the House floor Wednesday evening to file a privileged resolution to force the House Ethics Committee to release its report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz.

Separately, Democratic Rep. Sean Casten also appeared on the House floor moments ago to release his own version of a privileged resolution calling on the Ethics Committee to release the report.

House leadership will have up to two legislative days to bring up these resolutions for a vote -- either on Thursday or after the Thanksgiving recess.

House Republican leadership is expected to try to table the effort.

Rep. Susan Wild, the top Democrat on the House Ethics Committee, disagreed with Chairman Michael Guest's characterization of what occurred in Wednesday's meeting regarding the Matt Gaetz report, telling reporters, "There was no consensus on the issue."

Guest told reporters following the meeting that "there was not an agreement to release" the report but didn't discuss further.

Wild said the chairman has "betrayed the process by disclosing our deliberations within moments after walking out of the committee."

"He has implied that there was an agreement of the committee not to disclose the report," she continued. "To the extent that that suggests that the committee was in agreement or that we had a consensus on that, that is inaccurate."

Wild said "a vote was taken" and suggested it was tied, implying no Republicans crossed party lines.

"I do not want the American public or anyone else to think that Mr. Guest's characterization of what transpired today would be some sort of indication that the committee had unanimity or consensus on this issue not to release the report. That would be an inaccurate portrayal," she added.

Wild said the committee plans to meet on Dec. 5 to "further consider this matter."

The House Ethics Committee voted against releasing its report on Matt Gaetz after multiple rounds of votes Wednesday, a source familiar with its meeting told ABC News.

The source said Republicans all voted against its release.

The committee voted not to release the draft report on Wednesday but to complete it and meet again in December, sources said.
