Matt Gaetz Faces House Ethics Committee Probe Over Sex, Drug Allegations

The House Ethics Committee is investigating Rep. Matt Gaetz for "sexual misconduct and illicit drug use" and for allegedly providing special privileges to individuals he had relationships with.
The investigation into Gaetz, initiated in April 2021, is ongoing alongside a federal criminal sex trafficking investigation of Gaetz and his friend, Joel Greenberg.
Despite difficulty in obtaining information, the Committee will review additional allegations against Gaetz regarding inappropriate actions, but will not pursue claims of misusing state records or accepting bribes at this time.
