House Ethics Committee opens Gaetz investigation

Among the alleged Gaetz improprieties that the ethics committee could examine are sexual misconduct, sharing inappropriate images in the Capitol, illegal drug use and acceptance of bribes... It's not Gaetz's first tangle with the Ethics Committee. In 2019, the panel conducted an inquiry into Gaetz's Twitter threat to expose an extramarital affair by Donald Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen. That threat took place on the eve of Cohen's testimony to the House oversight committee about alleged financial misdeeds by the former president. “Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends? Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat,” Gaetz wrote at the time in a since-deleted tweet directed at Cohen. “I wonder if she’ll remain faithful to you in prison. She’s about to learn a lot.”
