The House Ethics Committee has decided to release a report detailing its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz. The report addresses allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use against the former Republican congressman.
The House Ethics Committee has voted to release a report on its investigation of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use allegations against former Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz , NBC News reported. The bipartisan ethics committee deadlocked last month on whether to release the report in light of Gaetz's resignation from Congress to be President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general.
The report could be released as soon as the end of this week, after the House casts its final votes of the current Congress and gavels out for the holidays, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC. Gaetz withdrew less than two weeks later as his bid was overshadowed by allegations of past sexual misconduct and other impropriety, all of which he has denied. Gaetz wrote: 'House Ethics will reportedly post a report online that I have no opportunity to debate or rebut as a former member of the body,' Gaetz wrote. 'In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated - even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18,' he wrote
