After it was revealed that the House Ethics Committee secretly voted to disclose a report on his alleged sexual misbehavior, former Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who left Congress during a brief bid to become President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, offered a scathing rebuttal on Wednesday.
Gaetz’s words came after it was revealed that the committee had secretly voted to make the report public.
“The Biden/Garland DOJ spent years reviewing allegations that I committed various crimes. I was charged with nothing: FULLY EXONERATED. Not even a campaign finance violation. And the people investigating me hated me. The news came as a surprise because it was previously believed that the panel had decided against revealing the report.” Gaetz wrote in his own defense.
“Then, the very ‘witnesses’ DOJ deemed not-credible were assembled by House Ethics to repeat their claims absent any cross-examination or challenge from me or my attorneys. I’ve had no chance to ever confront any accusers. I’ve never been charged. I’ve never been sued. Instead, House Ethics will reportedly post a report online that I have no opportunity to debate or rebut as a former member of the body.” he added.

It is anticipated that a release will take place following the conclusion of the year’s voting, which might take place later this week.
After that, the former congressman concluded his article by making a jab at Congress, making a reference to the 1,547-page continuing resolution (CR) that aims to provide cash to a variety of departments until March 14, 2025, allocate more than $100 billion in disaster help, and other things.
