The House Ethics Committee's probe of Gaetz has continued under Republican leadership.
Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz is denouncing what he says are 'new frivolous investigations' launched against him by the House Ethics Committee.Since 2021, when the House was controlled by Democrats, the ethics panel has been investigating allegations that Gaetz had 'engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.' The probes continued after control of the chamber shifted to Republicans last year.
Gaetz went on to suggest that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who retired from Congress late last year after being ousted from the speakership following a motion to vacate by Gaetz, was behind the investigations.'This is Soviet,' Gaetz wrote. 'Kevin McCarthy showed them the man, and they are now trying to find the crime. I work for Northwest Floridians who won't be swayed by this nonsense and McCarthy and his goons know it.
