Ethics Committee investigating Gaetz over alleged drug use, sexual misconduct and more
The House Ethics Committee is continuing to review several allegations against Northwest Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, including that he engaged in sexual misconduct and illegal drug use.
In a release Tuesday, the committee said it will continue to review allegations that Gaetz may have "engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct."
Gaetz has denied all the allegations.
He took to social media on Monday saying:
The House Ethics Committee has closed four probes into me, which emerged from lies intended solely to smear me. Instead of working with me to ban Congressional stock trading, the Ethics Committee is now opening new frivolous investigations. They are doing this to avoid the obvious fact that every investigation into me ends the same way: my exoneration.
This is Soviet. Kevin McCarthy showed them the man, and they are now trying to find the crime. I work for Northwest Floridians who won't be swayed by this nonsense and McCarthy and his goons know it.
