House Ethics Committee Investigates Matt Gaetz for Alleged Drug Use and Misconduct

The investigation follows allegations of Gaetz attending a drug-fueled party in 2017 with a minor present, as revealed in a sworn statement.

The House Ethics Committee is probing whether Rep. Matt Gaetz used illegal drugs while serving in Congress, focusing on a 2017 party in Florida.
A sworn statement claims Gaetz was at the party where drugs like cocaine and MDMA were used, and a minor was seen naked.
Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and stated he has never paid for sex or used illicit drugs as a congressman.
The ongoing investigation has reached out to multiple witnesses, including young women allegedly paid to attend sex parties.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy cited the ethics probe into Gaetz as a reason for his removal from the speaker position.
