The House Ethics Committee's Devastating Report on Matt Gaetz

The House Ethics Committee released a scathing report on former Florida GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz.

In a statement released to The Daily Blaze, the Committee stated:

“On December 23, 2024, the Committee on Ethics (Committee) released the attached Report regarding allegations relating to Representative Matt Gaetz.

“The Committee previously noted that there has been a significant and unusual amount of reporting on its activities during its review of the matter of Representative Gaetz, and much of that reporting has been inaccurate. The Committee’s investigations are conducted confidentially, but the Committee’s confidentiality rules do not prohibit witnesses from disclosing information about the Committee’s requests or conversations with Committee investigators. To the extent that any of the public reporting on this matter came from unauthorized disclosures of confidential Committee information, we strongly condemn such unauthorized disclosures, which are damaging and harmful to the Committee’s work.”

“The report is filled with shocking findings and concludes with ‘Based on the above, the Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress.'”

This report must be read in order to appreciate the gravity of it.

Gaetz has not been charged with any crime, nor has he been convicted. He is presumed innocent. The committee referred its findings to Florida officials for potential prosecution of Gaetz.
