House Ethics Committee Reviews Evidence Against Rep. Matt Gaetz

A witness has provided substantial evidence, including texts and photos, to the House Ethics Committee, implicating Rep. Matt Gaetz in sex trafficking allegations.

A witness testified to U.S. attorneys in 2021 about attending drug-fueled sex parties with Rep. Matt Gaetz, providing texts, photos, and other evidence.
The House Ethics Committee is now reviewing this evidence as part of its inquiry into whether Gaetz paid for sex with women and an underage teen.
The witness, who was older than 21 at the time of the encounters, emphasized that the sex was consensual but highlighted the heavy use of drugs and alcohol at the parties.
Gaetz's former friend, Joel Greenberg, has pleaded guilty to child sex trafficking and other offenses, admitting to connecting the former 17-year-old to other men, including unnamed 'adult men.'
Prosecutors declined to file charges against Gaetz last year, but the Ethics Committee has reopened its probe, reaching out to several key witnesses.
