Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, is being eyed over allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, and obstructing government probes.
The House Ethics Committee said it has identified "additional allegations" against Rep. Matt Gaetz "that merit review," as it continues to investigate the Florida Republican over claims of "sexual misconduct and illicit drug use."
U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz walks away from the U.S. Capitol after his motion to vacate the chair of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and end McCarthy's continued leadership succeeded by a vote of 216-210, outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington, October 3, 2023.
"During the course of its investigation, the Committee has also identified additional allegations that merit review," despite the difficulty of getting information from Gaetz, the Ethics Committee said. The committee issued the rare press release after Gaetz accused it of "opening new frivolous investigations" in him.
