CNN reports:
The House Ethics Committee investigating Rep. Matt Gaetz has reached out to the woman whom the congressman allegedly had sexual relations with when she was a 17-year-old minor, according to a source familiar with the committee’s work.
The outreach, which has not previously been reported, is a sign that the GOP-led committee’s investigation into the Florida Republican has recently expanded to include questioning around allegations of sex crimes.
Sources said the committee also has reached out to the Justice Department requesting materials from its investigation into Gaetz, which included allegations of lobbying violations, sex-trafficking and possible obstruction of justice.
Read the full article. House Ethics Committee chairman Rep. Michael Guest is an election-denying cultist, but he may still be seething over Gaetz’s ousting of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which Guest voted against. Whee!
