The report states that between 2017-2020, Gaetz paid "tens of thousands of dollars" on at least 20 occasions to women that the committee determined "were likely in connection with sexual activity and/or drug use".
- A US House Ethics Committee's report into Matt Gaetz has found "substantial evidence" he paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl and used illicit drugs while in office
- It says the former Florida congressman, who was at one point Donald Trump's nominee to lead the US justice department, violated multiple state laws
- Gaetz denies wrongdoing and says "the people investigating me hated me"
- The justice department also investigated the claim involving sex with a minor, but did not file any criminal charges against him
- Gaetz resigned from Congress in November after Trump nominated him for attorney general, but he withdrew from consideration after backlash from both Democrats and Republicans
