House committee keeps quiet about ex-Florida rep investigation results

House Ethics Committee held another closed-door meeting about former congressman investigation. Members discussed but didnt reach agreement on publishing report with serious allegations

The House Ethics Committee met behind-closed doors this thursday to discuss a long-awaited report about former rep Matt Gaetz (which contains info about alleged misconduct and substance-use)

The two-hour meeting didnt lead to any clear outcome — even though democrats pushed hard for the documents release. A brief note from this usually-tight lipped committee just confirmed that members talked about making the report public but couldnt agree on next steps

The Florida ex-congressmans case remains in limbo: committee members (who are known for keeping sensitive matters private) continue reviewing how to handle these serious claims. The groupʼs well-known no-leaks policy makes it hard to guess when — or if — the public will see whats inside
