Latest Action · December 5, 2024
Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table.
This resolution directs the House Committee on Ethics to publicly release its investigation report on former Representative Matt Gaetz, who resigned from Congress in November 2024. The committee had been investigating allegations against Gaetz since April 2021, including claims of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, sharing inappropriate images, misusing campaign funds, and accepting bribes or improper gifts. The resolution notes that the committee has precedent for releasing reports on former members' conduct, citing past cases involving former representatives Bill Boner, Don Lukens, and Mark Foley. The resolution requires the committee to immediately release the latest draft report, summary of findings, conclusions, and related materials with appropriate redactions to protect witness identities and other sensitive information. The proponents argue that releasing the report is necessary to maintain the committee's credibility and uphold the integrity of the House.
