A woman claims that she saw Florida Representative Matt Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old minor at a drug-filled party in 2017. The woman’s lawyer says that she testified to the House Ethics Committee.
This is relevant as Gaetz will face opposition to his nomination as Attorney General under President Trump.
Gaetz has repeatedly said that he was set up by the Feds and denied the allegations. In fact, a man is in prison now for trying to extort Gaetz’ father for $25 million in exchange for a “guaranteed pardon” in relationship to the ongoing lawfare against Gaetz. He was investigated and never charged.
The House investigation began in June. A report was scheduled to be released this week but now that Gaetz has resigned from Congress after his AG nomination, that report may not be released. The committee will meet on Wednesday to discuss its release and possibly ask Congress to vote on releasing it to the public.
House Speaker Mike Johnson last week said that the panel should not release the report. I would like to see it, sure. It’s not a healthy cloud to have over the country’s top lawyer and if there is evidence that he was extorted, I want to see that too.
I also want to see the ethics reports on other congressional representatives. Marjorie Taylor Greene said this: “If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see. Yes.. all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews but not just those, there’s more, Epstein wasn’t/isn’t the only asset If we’re going to dance, let’s all dance in the sunlight.”
Agreed. Do it.
