Statement Regarding the Matter of Representative Matt Gaetz
ethics.house.gov
Pursuant to Committee Rule 7, the Committee on Ethics (Committee) determined to release the following statement: On April 9, 2021, the Committee announced it had initiated a review into allegations that Representative Matt Gaetz may have engaged in sexual misconduct and/or illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and/or accepted a bribe, improper gratuity, or impermissible gift, in violation of House Rules, laws, or other standards of conduct.

Key point seems to be:

…the Committee is reviewing allegations pursuant to Committee Rules 14(a)(3) and 18(a) that Representative Gaetz may have: engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct.

    Considering they initially started looking into this in April of 2021, I’d say they’re doing a pretty good job delaying things.

      Yes. I am quite sure Matt Gaetz is very thankful for his exorbitantly wealthy father leaning on the scales ⚖️ of “justice”.

      And let’s not forget his 2008 DUI arrest that Matt Gaetz also escaped Scot-Free.
