Summary

The House Ethics Committee found “substantial evidence” that former GOP congressman Matt Gaetz engaged in statutory rape, prostitution, drug use, and obstruction of Congress.

The report alleges Gaetz paid a 17-year-old for sex in 2017. Gaetz denies the claims, citing no criminal charges from a prior DOJ investigation.

He filed for a restraining order to block the report’s release, calling it “unprecedented overreach.”

Despite GOP resistance, the bipartisan committee voted to publish the findings after a four-year probe into alleged misconduct, including payments tied to drug-fueled sex parties.

      Even if he doesn’t serve time, I’d like to think he’ll never hold an elected office ever again now at least

        I think sexual misconduct with a minor is a prerequisite for a GOP cantidate, especially in FL. I am sure some have been grandfathered into the GOP prior to this unwritten rule being implemented.

        The Republicans named their favorite house rule after a pedophilic former speaker of the house. They just re elected a convinced rapist and con man. I don’t have your confidence.

        Trump just got reelected after 4 years to think about it. I wouldn’t be too sure that Gaetz is done.

        I do not consider him making several million dollars a year at GOP speaking engagements and hosting Fox News to be considered “justice“.

        There was a time when I would believe that could happen.

        These days, being a criminal (and personally loyal to Trump) seems to be a pre-requisite for being appointed to a cabinet position.
