House Ethics Committee Intensifies Probe into Rep. Matt Gaetz

The committee continues to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct, drug use, and obstruction, while dropping other charges.

The investigation now includes whether Gaetz obstructed government inquiries and granted favors to personal associates.
The committee has issued 25 subpoenas and interviewed over a dozen witnesses during its three-year probe.
Gaetz has denied all allegations, attributing the investigation to political vendettas, particularly from former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The Department of Justice previously closed its investigation without charges, prompting the House to resume its probe.
Certain allegations, such as sharing inappropriate images on the House floor, are no longer being pursued.
