“Not an Agreement”: House Ethics Committee Decides Not to Release the Matt Gaetz Investigation Findings

(DCNF)—The House Ethics Committee decided not to release its investigation into former Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz Wednesday.

Gaetz resigned last Wednesday shortly before the Ethics Committee was scheduled to release the investigation into allegations of the former representative engaging in sexual misconduct and illicit drug consumption. It remained unclear whether the committee’s report would be released, with Speaker Mike Johnson opposing the investigation’s publication.

“There was not an agreement by the committee to release the report,” Republican Rep. Michael Guest of Mississippi, the chair of the Ethics Committee, told reporters following a committee meeting Wednesday.
