House Ethics Chair Michael Guest criticizes release of Gaetz report
SUMMARY: Following the House Ethics Committee’s report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, detailing alleged payments for sex and drugs, Chairman Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.) stated he opposed releasing the findings. He argued that the committee lost jurisdiction after Gaetz’s resignation, and releasing the report deviated from established protocols. Guest highlighted a previous instance involving Rep. Mark Foley but emphasized the significance of not investigating former members. Democrats defended the release due to Gaetz’s cabinet candidacy, while Republicans viewed it as a misuse of authority. Gaetz, maintaining his innocence, criticized the report, claiming the evidence was manipulated against him.
