The House Ethics Committee's probe into Matt Gaetz has obtained 2017 texts allegedly showing the Florida Republican inviting a woman on a trip with "2 guys, 4 girls." The woman had reportedly been paid for sex by Gaetz's associate. Additionally, the woman informed prosecutors that she had sex with Gaetz at a party she was paid to attend, and that she and other girls were provided with alcohol and controlled substances at these gatherings. The Justice Department launched a sex-trafficking investigation into Gaetz but did not bring charges, while the House Ethics Committee has restarted its probe and contacted new witnesses. Gaetz denies any involvement in the alleged activities.
