Matt Gaetz suggests he could ‘go after former colleagues’ in House as special counsel
Raw StoryFormer Representative Matt Gaetz suggested that he could "go after" his "former colleagues in Congress" the day before the House Ethics Committee report came out. “My fellow Floridians have asked me to eye the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee, maybe special counsel to go after the insider trading for my former colleagues in Congress. The House Ethics Committee report released Monday found that while the claims that Gaetz violated sex trafficking laws were unsubstantiated, other accusations against him were supported by evidence. The report says the committee found evidence that Gaetz paid thousands of dollars for sex; violated Florida's statutory rape law; used cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana illegally; violated the rule on accepting gifts from lobbyists; gave friends special privileges and favors; and tried to obstruct the committee's investigation.
