House Ethics Committee takes major step in Matt Gaetz underage sex investigation: NYT

The House Ethics Committee is taking a major step in reviving an inquiry into Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-FL) alleged dalliances with underage teens, reports the New York Times.

The Department of Justice previously conducted its own investigation and chose not to file charges, but that has not stopped the House committee for requesting all materials to do their own inquiry.

As the Times is reporting, the lawyer for the chief witness against the Florida Republican is now co-operating as the investigation ramps up.

"Fritz Scheller, a lawyer for Mr. Gaetz’s former friend and political ally Joel Greenberg, said he provided documents to the committee that he said backed up his client’s claims that he witnessed Mr. Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old girl," the report states with attorney stating in an email, "Mr. Greenberg has and will cooperate with any congressional request.”

The report adds that Greenberg pleaded guilty to trafficking in 2021 and is currently serving a an 11-year prison sentence.
