Donald Trump's choice for Attorney General
BTW- When I was in my 20s, I was lucky enough to date about a dozen women over the course of about 4-5 years- like going out with them to events and parties and such several times, etc.
I don't know about any of you, but I didn't have to give them cash or pay them to go out with me. I would pay for dinner or a- show, but I never had to write them a check after a date.
Gaetz had caught colleagues off-guard by resigning from Congress in hopes of keeping the report private. It didn't work. There was a precedent of releasing ethics reports in the past even if a member was no longer in Congress.
“The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress,"
The draft lays out sordid details of Gaetz’s alleged drug-fueled partying with young women based on interviews with those women and eyewitnesses, but saved some of its harshest criticisms for the former Florida Republican’s refusal to cooperate completely with the years-long ethics inquiry.
The draft report alleges that he refused to comply with a subpoena demanding an interview and sent only partial written answers, and that he “intentionally withheld information” about his trip with women to the Bahamas and the fact that he took a prohibited free private plane ride back.
The report details efforts by Gaetz to cover up accepting the free plane ride.
The committee concluded that despite Gaetz’ denials, the former lawmaker had engaged in commercial sex transactions and drug use, at least from 2017 to 2020.
“From 2017 to 2020, Representative Gaetz made tens of thousands of dollars in payments to women that the Committee determined were likely in connection with sexual activity and/or drug use,” the report stated. “Payments were made to these women using peer-to-peer payment platforms such as PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp. Rep Gaetz also used fake names to make the payments in some instances, as well as using a friend's Phone to make the transactions.
“Text messages obtained by the Committee show that Representative Gaetz would also ask women to bring drugs to their rendezvous, in some instances requesting marijuana cartridges and repaying the women directly, but in other cases requesting ‘a full compliment [sic] of party favors,’ ‘vitamins,’ or ‘rolls,’” the report stated. “Representative Gaetz sent one woman several hundred dollars for marijuana cartridges..”
“Another woman said that she brought cocaine to at least one event with Representative Gaetz and that she witnessed him taking cocaine or ecstasy on at least five occasions.
