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.

    This isn’t news to anybody that’s been paying attention. I want to hear comments from every single one of his associates in Congress that either denied the allegations on his behalf, defended him against the allegations, or voted against releasing this report. I want to know why they were ‘in the dark’ when people across the country outside Congress knew he was guilty.

    On a side note, I’d also like to hear from Google as to why their shitty AI pops up on every single internet search, except when I ask for a list of people that have defended Matt Gaetz over the years. It doesn’t even give up Marjorie Taylor Greene.
