Ethics Committee Releases Full Report On Gaetz

The House Ethics Committee writes:

On December 23, 2024, the Committee on Ethics (Committee) released the attached Report regarding allegations relating to Representative Matt Gaetz.

The Committee previously noted that there has been a significant and unusual amount of reporting on its activities during its review of the matter of Representative Gaetz, and much of that reporting has been inaccurate.

The Committee’s investigations are conducted confidentially, but the Committee’s confidentiality rules do not prohibit witnesses from disclosing information about the Committee’s requests or conversations with Committee investigators.

To the extent that any of the public reporting on this matter came from unauthorized disclosures of confidential Committee information, we strongly condemn such unauthorized disclosures, which are damaging and harmful to the Committee’s work.

Read the full press release. At the link you’ll find links to multiple PDFs outlining the committee’s findings. There’s a LOT there. Apparently Gaetz’s demand for a restraining order came too late.

“The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Rep. Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use…and obstruction of Congress.”
