The House Ethics Committee is scheduled to meet this Wednesday to discuss its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. The committee had previously postponed a meeting where the panel was expected to vote on releasing the report on Gaetz. Gaetz resigned from Congress on Wednesday, shortly after being nominated to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general.
House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., stated that the committee would lose jurisdiction over Gaetz once he left Congress. The investigation into Gaetz, which began in 2021, focused on allegations of illicit drug use and sexual relations with a minor. The Department of Justice had also investigated the matter but did not file any charges.
