## Matt Gaetz ethics report says his drug use and sex with a minor violated state laws

Those are among the findings of the long-running investigation by the House Ethics Committee into Gaetz, which concluded the former Florida congressman violated multiple state laws related to sexual misconduct while in office.

Then-Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, speaks to reporters outside the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 2, 2023.

Gaetz resigned from Congress in November after Trump announced plans to nominate him for attorney general.

The report gives fresh voice to allegations of misconduct that have circulated around Gaetz for years, in spite of his firm denials.
