Gaetz Report Paid $90k ƒor Sex and Drugs While in Congress
$90,000
The House Ethics Committee released the report on its yearslong investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R, FL-1) yesterday. Read the 37-page document here (click “Committee Report”). The committee found Gaetz obstructed Congress and violated other ethics rules while in office, paying over $90K to 12 women for sex or drugs—including marijuana, ecstasy, and cocaine. One of the girls allegedly paid for sex was 17 years old at the time; multiple women were transported over state lines for the purpose of sex.
No Sale (Again) on Greenland, Mr. Trump
“Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale.”
— Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Egede said Monday the autonomous island is not for sale after President-elect Donald Trump said owning Greenland “is an absolute necessity” for the U.S., The Hill reports.
Shameless, Not Blameless
His last motions to suppress were frenetic,
But the ethics committee was unapologetic.
While money, sex and drugs did abound,
In the end the committee found
That Matt Gaetz simply has no shame, morals or ethics.
