Gaetz, a Trump loyalist, resigned from his House seat on Wednesday, effectively ending the ethics investigation that has harried him for years, a Republican official familiar with the matter told The New York Times.

"I was fortunate to get some extra years out of my career and complete cycling, I guess. The majority of athletes will never get to go out on a fairytale ending," he added.

Disney also saw growth in its streaming business, ending the fourth quarter with a total of 174 million Disney+ and Hulu subscribers, and more than 120 million Disney+ paid subscribers, which the company said was an increase of 4.4 million compared with the previous quarter.

In conversations with Salon, many expressed hope that Trump might take up their own pet issue, like dismantling the administrative state, ending diversity initiatives or directing public funds to religious schools.

But on Wednesday evening, Johnson said Gaetz had resigned as a lawmaker, effectively ending the House probe since the committee only investigates members.
