https://www.yahoo.com/news/first-cnn-house-ethics-committee-210923335.html First on CNN: House Ethics Committee reached out to Rep. Matt Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend amid ongoing investigation
Matt Gaetz demanded that GOP House Leader Keven McCarthy stop the ethics investigation into Matt's activities. This was something that Kevin McCarthy could not really intervene and do -- because it would violate all sorts of rules in the U.S. House. Keep in mind that GOP had placed Matt's ethics investigation on the back-burner -- leaving it going nowhere for years at the bottom of the priority list. Since Matt took out Kevin as House Majority Leader with a few MAGA GOP representatives causing chaos -- the GOP members of the House have been furious. Now Matt's ethics investigation is in overdrive and at the top of the list. His underage victim, ex-girlfriend, and many others have been contacted to provide information. It is just a matter of time before Matt is expelled and/or referred to the DOJ. Great job with your entire intent backfiring, Matt.

The walls are closing in on Matt. House Ethics Committee takes major step in Matt Gaetz underage sex investigation: NYT https://www.rawstory.com/matt-gaetz-underage-girls-2667227719/ 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 the 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.

In the alleged text messages described exclusively to ABC News, the then-freshman congressman appeared to message a woman, who ABC News is not identifying, asking if she would fly on a private plane to the Florida Keys for a trip with Gaetz, three other women, and one other man. "Hey -- any interest in flying on a private plane to the keys May 19-21?" Gaetz allegedly wrote to the woman, who was older than 21 at the time, according to multiple sources familiar with the messages. Gaetz then allegedly said that the trip would feature "2 guys, 4 girls. A very high-quality adventurous group," according to the messages, which have previously not been reported on. "Yeah I'm in," replied the woman, according to the texts. Gaetz allegedly replied: "Fantastic. As is true with all time you spend w me, it'll be fun and chill […] You have a passport?" Sources familiar with the events tell ABC News the woman ultimately declined the 2017 trip.
