The results of an ethics investigation into now-former congressman Matt Gaetz will be made public after a secret vote to share the report in the final days of 2024.

Members of the House Ethics Committee voted again earlier this month, reversing a decision to withhold the findings of a long-running probe into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use.

The report is expected to be made public as lawmakers prepare to leave Washington for the holidays, CNN reported. Gaetz, 42, responded on X, arguing his actions in his thirties were “not criminal” and he now leads a different life.

It's not the women that people care about.

It's the little girls you paid for.

I swear, these guys must go to some special school for downplaying. They'll say, "Yeah, I'll admit I used to party a little bit hard on the weekends" and then you find out they dismembered three women and buried them in the basement.

That the report's release timing is given out before the report certainly gives Gaetz plenty of time to get out in front of the reporting. Gotta manage that public response.
