Matt Gaetz Halts Voluntary Cooperation in House Ethics Probe

Gaetz denounces the investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use, calling it politically motivated.

Rep. Matt Gaetz announced he will no longer voluntarily participate in the House Ethics Committee's investigation.
Gaetz described the probe as a 'political payback exercise' and criticized its focus on his personal life.
The investigation, which began in April 2021, was reopened in May 2023 after the DOJ closed its case without charges.
The Ethics Committee has issued a subpoena for Gaetz's testimony, which he has acknowledged but not yet received.
Gaetz denies allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use, attributing accusations to a plot by former associate Joel Greenberg.
