to examine a slew of accusations, including sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, misuse of state identification records, and bribery, among other things.

The probe was delayed due to the DOJ’s investigation but has been revived with plans to revisit the same allegations from 2021, an unnamed source told CNN. Gaetz has denied wrongdoing and told CNN the committee’s probe was “not something I’m worried about.” “It’s also funny that the one guy who doesn’t take the corrupt lobbyist and PAC money seems to be under the most Ethics investigation[s],” he said. The Ethics Committee declined to comment to CNN.
