New information regarding the former congressman’s alleged behavior, at least one new accusation, and insights into the panel’s inquiry were all included in the House Ethics Committee report on Trump associate Matt Gaetz, which was made public on Monday.
According to the report, the committee found that the former congressman from Florida had sex with a 17-year-old girl, used or possessed illegal drugs, accepted gifts that were not allowed in the House, paid women for “engaging in sexual activity” on a regular basis, and assisted a woman in getting a passport between at least 2017 and 2020.
In 2016, the 42-year-old was elected to the US House of Representatives for the first time as a Republican.
Days before the report was set to be released and after Trump named him as his choice for US attorney, he resigned in November.
