The report on Gaetz, who had represented Florida in Congress, included allegations related to sexual misconduct and illegal drug use.

Authorities from the Sunshine State signaled they may not have grounds to pursue charges against former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz after the House Ethics Committee released a bombshell report accusing him of sexual misconduct.

Hours after the publication of a bombshell report revealing “substantial evidence” that Matt Gaetz paid tens of thousands of dollars for sex, including with a 17-year-old girl, the former congressman issued a fundraising plea through his recently launched political action committee.
