Matt Gaetz, once nominated by President Donald Trump to lead the U.S. Department of Justice, faces serious misconduct allegations, including claims of involvement with underage girls, drug use, and bribery. The ongoing congressional ethics investigation has been complicated by Gaetz’s recent resignation from Congress, potentially halting the release of its findings. Despite investigations that did not result in criminal charges, Gaetz has consistently denied wrongdoing, framing the scrutiny as a politically motivated smear campaign.
