A House Ethics Committee report alleges that former Representative Matt Gaetz violated multiple state laws, including those related to sexual misconduct and drug use. The report details accusations of paying for sex with multiple women, one of whom was underage, and using illegal drugs while in office. Gaetz denies the allegations, which are supported by witness testimonies, text messages, and financial records. He has filed a lawsuit to prevent the report's release, but the committee voted to make it public despite his objections. The report concludes that there is substantial evidence of numerous ethical violations.
