Directing the Committee on Ethics to preserve and release records of the Committee's review of the alleged misconduct of Matthew Louis Gaetz II of Florida while serving as a Member of the House of Representatives.
Summary
This resolution directs the House Committee on Ethics to preserve and publicly release all records and findings from its multi-year investigation into former Representative Matt Gaetz. The investigation, which began in 2021, examined allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, and other potential violations of House rules and federal law.
For citizens, the resolution is a measure intended to provide transparency regarding the conduct of an elected official and the results of a taxpayer-funded ethics inquiry. While the House initially voted to block this specific resolution in early December 2024, the Ethics Committee ultimately voted to release a detailed 37-page report on the matter later that month.
