Matt Gaetz Faces Escalating Ethics Investigation

Rep. Matt Gaetz recently claimed that the House Ethics Committee is launching new investigations against him. However, the committee clarified that it is expanding its ongoing probe, which includes allegations of sexual misconduct, illegal drug use, improper gifts, special favors, and obstruction of government investigations. Gaetz, who asserts his innocence, has responded by launching a fundraising campaign, blaming former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a so-called “Uniparty cabal” for the renewed scrutiny. The investigation, which has been ongoing for over three years, intensifies amidst the current election year, with Gaetz leveraging the situation to solicit donor support.
