Matt Gaetz faces ethics probe: Allegations of misconduct unveiled
Former congressman Matt Gaetz, a close associate of Donald Trump, was allegedly involved in paying for sex with a minor and using drugs. Troubling details about the politician's life are revealed in the House Ethics Committee report.
The House Ethics Committee released a report that makes serious allegations against Matt Gaetz, a former congressman from Florida. The document suggests that Gaetz allegedly paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl, which is considered rape in the state of Florida. The report also discloses that the politician used drugs and obstructed the investigation.
Gaetz, known for his close cooperation with Donald Trump, was nominated for Attorney General. However, his nomination was withdrawn due to the ongoing investigation.

The Ethics Committee report emphasises that Gaetz regularly paid women for sex and received illegal gifts. The politician denies the allegations, asserting that the money was given as gifts.
According to the Polish Press Agency, the release of the report is unusual. Similar investigations typically conclude with the end of the congressman's term.
Members of the Ethics Committee stressed that their aim was to correct false information about the document's content. Gaetz now plans a career in the media, despite the controversies surrounding him.
