House Ethics Committee Report Claims Matt Gaetz Paid Women For Sex And Engaged In Illicit Drug Use — Update

Matt Gaetz, the former congressman and future One America News host, is seeking to block the House Ethics Committee ‘s release of a report that details his alleged conduct, including drug use and having sex with minors. “The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress,” the report stated, according to the network. “The Committee’s apparent intention to release its report after explicitly acknowledging it lacks jurisdiction over former members, its failure to follow constitutional notions of due process, and failure to adhere to its own procedural rules and precedent represents an unprecedented overreach that threatens fundamental constitutional rights and established procedural protections,” Gaetz’s attorneys wrote in the filing.
