A bipartisan House committee voted to release allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz, potentially making them public soon. Gaetz, Trump's initial pick for attorney general, faced investigation for sexual misconduct and other misconduct.
A bipartisan House committee has voted to release allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz , R-Fla., raising the possibility that they could be made public in the coming days. Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump 's first choice for attorney general, was the subject of an investigation by the committee into allegations of sexual misconduct and other wrongdoing.
The decision by the committee was made earlier this month, according to a person familiar with the vote who was not authorized to publicly discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday. CNN first reported the vote. Gaetz lashed out on social media, again denying any wrongdoing. He criticized the committee for its move after he had left Congress, saying he will have “no opportunity to debate or rebut as a former member of the body.” “It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life,” Gaetz said. “I live a different life now.”
