Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. The DOJ investigated the accusations but decided against pressing charges.<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz was exonerated of all criminal accusations by the far-left Justice Department, which would obviously jump on the opportunity to accuse a conservative of any criminality.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the House Ethics Committee reopened the investigation in 2023 as Gaetz ramped up challenges to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was later ousted by Gaetz&#8217;s Motion to Vacate the chair.<\/p>\n<p>Later, when Gaetz threatened to bring a Motion to Vacate against McCarthy in October 2023, McCarthy&#8217;s RINO\u00a0allies began threatening to expel Gaetz based on the Committee&#8217;s investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the establishment is wheeling out a leftist attorney who represents two so-called witnesses to continue pushing this hoax.
