Kevin Mccarthy blames ouster on Matt Gaetz's sexual misconduct allegations probe

Raw Story  

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is pulling no punches about the real reason he believes he was ousted from power, according to new reports. While Jacobs does not specify to whom McCarthy was referring, one House Republican led the charge to remove the former speaker and has found himself embroiled in an investigation as to whether he had sex with a minor of that age: Rep. Matt Gaetz. According to Politico, Gaetz publicly maintains he did nothing wrong and argues the Ethics Committee probe is payback for leading the effort to oust McCarthy. The FBI separately investigated the sex trafficking claim, and while one of Gaetz's associates, former Florida county tax official Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty to child sex trafficking, Gaetz himself was never prosecuted. Earlier this year, reports indicated that the investigation is moving ahead, with Greenberg's attorney providing documents to the Ethics Committee purporting to back up Greenberg's claim he witnessed Gaetz having sex with the girl.
