Matt Gaetz Shares Purported Note From Trump After Release Of Scorching Ethics Report
HuffPost
The report on Gaetz, who had represented Florida in Congress, included allegations related to sexual misconduct and illegal drug use.
Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz on Monday shared a note that he purportedly received from President-elect Donald Trump, posting a photo of the message online after the House Ethics Committee said it found evidence that Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct and illegal drug use while in Congress.
The image — shared on X, formerly Twitter — showed a printout of a November article about allegations at the center of the report, which was made public this week. Published by conservative outlet The Federalist, the article had questioned the credibility of people speaking out against Gaetz.
At the top of the printout, a handwritten message addressed to Gaetz reads, “Very Unfair!”
“I got a great note from President Trump!” the former Florida representative wrote beside the image. It was not clear when the photo was taken.
This comes after the House report, released earlier Monday, accused Gaetz of breaking state and federal laws, saying it had found “substantial evidence” against him. It alleged that he’d paid tens of thousands of dollars to women “likely in connection with sexual activity and/or drug use,” claiming that he had used or possessed illegal substances like cocaine and ecstasy. It further alleged that he had paid a 17-year-old girl for sex in 2017.
