The House Ethics Committee is expected to release its long-awaited report on Monday into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, ending a yearslong investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct with minors and use of illicit drugs. Gaetz has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing, but the report's release comes after at least one Republican joined all five Democrats on the panel in a secret vote to release the report, despite initial opposition from GOP lawmakers. Gaetz, who resigned from Congress last month, is seeking to block the report's release, arguing it contains 'untruthful and defamatory information' that would 'significantly damage' his reputation.
WASHINGTON — The House Ethics Committee is expected to release its long-awaited report Monday into former Rep. Matt Gaetz , ending a yearslong investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct with minors and use of illicit drugs while the Florida Republican was in office.
“The Committee’s position that it may nonetheless publish potentially defamatory findings about a private citizen over whom it claims no jurisdiction represents an unprecedented expansion of Congressional power that threatens fundamental constitutional rights and established procedural protections,” Gaetz’s lawyers wrote in their request for a temporary restraining order.
