'The fix is in': Defiant Matt Gaetz lashes out at House Ethics Committee's investigation

Raw Story  

Rep. Matt Gaetz issued a defiant statement on Thursday as the House Ethics Committee seemingly prepares to release a report into reported misconduct involving an underage girl. In a letter to the House Ethics Committee, Gaetz said he would no longer cooperate willingly with their investigation and declared that "the fix is in." "Your investigation into me has devolved into a political payback exercise, devoid of adequate due process, riddled with leaks, and now seeking deeply personal information that is no business of Congress," Gaetz wrote, and then accused the committee of releasing "public statements to cast me in a negative light." I explicitly reserve all of my rights pursuant to the House Rules and the U.S. Gaetz was investigated by the United States Department of Justice over potential sex trafficking but was ultimately not charged criminally.
