The House Ethics Committee released a damning report accusing former Congressman Matt Gaetz of paying women, including a 17-year-old, for sex, using illicit drugs, and participating in sex-filled parties while in office.
The House Ethics Committee released a report on Monday accusing Matt Gaetz of "regularly" paying for sex, including with a 17-year-old girl, and purchasing and using illicit drugs all while the Florida Republican was a member of Congress.Gaetz has denied all wrongdoing.The bipartisan panel released its 37-page report which includes explicit details of sex-filled parties and vacations that Gaetz, now 42, took part in from 2017 to 2020 while representing Florida's western panhandle.
" Gaetz’s complaint argues he’s no longer under the committee’s jurisdiction since he resigned from Congress."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.
