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.

    Time to release the reports on the others. I suppose if the rule of law was actually applied, no one in Congress would be walking free. Every country is being led by scum.
