The House Ethics Committee has initiated a new round of outreach in their investigation into Congressman Matt Gaetz. They have reached out to a woman who was allegedly involved in a sexual relationship with Gaetz when she was 17 years old. Additionally, they have reached out to the Justice Department, seeking materials from their previous investigation into the congressman.
The investigation into Gaetz began under former Attorney General Bill Barr, and it lasted for several years. It initially focused on allegations of sex with an underage girl but later expanded to include possible sex trafficking, lobbying violations, and obstruction of justice. However, last year it was revealed that Gaetz would not be charged, as the Justice Department did not pursue any charges.
