8:43Now PlayingMatt Gaetz finally gets abandoned by his own party as sources reveal many Republicans are waiting for a House Ethics report in order to get their retaliation for chaotic House Speaker meltdown in addition to his other party issues. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report.

Is the House Ethics Committee Coming for Matt Gaetz, George SantosStyle?
"In February, the Department of Justice informed Representative Matt Gaetz’s lawyers that it would not be bringing criminal charges against him following an investigation into allegations of sex trafficking and various other wrongdoing, allegations that Gaetz has always denied. Presumably, this news came as a huge sigh of relief to the GOP congressman, as even self-described “firebrand[s]” do not want to do time in prison. Yet while the Florida lawmaker may be in the clear from actual prosecution, at least one probe into his actions is still active—and seemingly heating up.
CNN reports that the House Ethics Committee—currently controlled by Republicans—has “reached out to at least one witness as part of its investigation into GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz to schedule an interview in the coming weeks, the latest sign that the once dormant probe remains open.” That official request, according to CNN, went out one day before the House voted to boot George Santos from Congress, following the release of an extremely damning report from the committee that is now, it seems, turning its attention to Gaetz. Among other things, the report accused Santos of engaging in criminal activity, including ripping off donors and spending their cash on Botox and OnlyFans. (Santos has denied everything and pleaded not guilty to federal charges in October.) Gaetz voted against expelling Santos from Congress and argued on the House floor that kicking out the serial liar and accused criminal before an official conviction would be an “incredible violation of precedent” that would do “grave damage” to the House of Representatives."
