Rep. Matt Gaetz Faces Ethics Investigations with New Claims Under Review

The House Ethics Committee continues its investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz, focusing on allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, and attempts to obstruct government probes. While the committee has dropped some earlier allegations, including misuse of state identification records and personal use of campaign funds, it has found new claims warranting review. Gaetz has vehemently denied all accusations, attributing the investigation to political motives and criticizing the process publicly. The probe, which began in April 2021 and was paused for a Justice Department investigation, has involved interviewing dozens of witnesses and issuing multiple subpoenas. Despite challenges in obtaining information, the committee remains committed to its thorough review.
