YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe House Ethics Committee released an explosive report detailing its investigation of sexual misconduct allegations against MAGA Republican ex-Rep. Matt Gaetz.
The Florida Republican abruptly resigned from Congress in November while being considered for attorney general in the upcoming Trump administration.
The 37-page report, released Monday, revealed that Gaetz regularly paid for sex, including with a 17-year-old girl, from at least 2017 when he began serving in the House until 2020.
It also found that he accepted impermissible gifts, including lodging and transportation in 2018 during a trip to the Bahamas. Investigators also concluded that Gaetz "used or possessed" cocaine and ecstasy between 2017 and 2019.
The ethics committee, comprised of five lawmakers from each party, agreed to release the report despite Gaetz's departure from the chamber.
Before the committee made the report public, Gaetz asked a federal judge Monday to block its release. Gaetz, who has denied all wrongdoing, claimed making the report public would violate the committee's internal rules to stop investigating House lawmakers once they leave Congress, violating his constitutional due process rights.
