House Ethics Committee Issues Subpoena For Testimony of Rep. Matt Gaetz’s Former Girlfriend
Is the Establishment setting its target on Rep. Matt Gaetz?
Enter: mysterious woman with accusations about his past.
It’s not like we haven’t seen this before.
Another E. Jean Carroll situation?
These people keep using the same playbook.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with him being a thorn in the Establishment’s side.
Or this:

ABC News reports:
The House Ethics Committee has issued a subpoena for the testimony of a former girlfriend of Rep. Matt Gaetz as part of the panel’s ongoing investigation into the Florida Republican.
The committee is demanding Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend appear before the committee over a Zoom call on Feb. 29, according to a letter sent to the woman’s lawyer.
The woman, who ABC News is not identifying, had previously been contacted by the committee about voluntarily sitting for an interview and had informed the committee that she had planned to “plead the fifth” on any questions related to the congressman, a source familiar told ABC News.
“Of course we will comply with the subpoena and we will appear before the committee,” the woman’s lawyer, Tim Jansen, told ABC News.
“I can confirm I received a subpoena on behalf of my client. We will certainly appear before the committee as required. However, we have informed the Staff that my client will be invoking her Fifth Amendment right before the Committee,”
The House committee has not responded to a request for comment on the matter.
The Democrats are salivating over this on X.
“Guilty until proven innocent!” is the mindest at the heart of all their comments.
I’ll spare you the actual posts.
Yahoo News adds:
A potential witness in the House Ethics Committee investigation into Representative Matt Gaetz claims that she had sex with the Florida Republican at a drug-fueled party in 2021 that she was paid to attend—and she says she has the texts to prove it.
The unidentified victim received payments to attend multiple sex parties with people in Gaetz’s circle and testified under subpoena to U.S. attorneys investigating Gaetz in 2021, handing over texts, photographs, and other evidence, according to the woman’s attorney who spoke with The Daily Beast.
The House Ethics Committee is now weighing that evidence to determine whether or not the MAGA politician paid for sex with women and an underage teenager.
The woman—who was older than 21 at the time she allegedly encountered Gaetz—told prosecutors that the sex was consensual, the outlet reported.
“She told them that she and lots of girls were provided all kinds of controlled substances at these parties,” the lawyer said.
We totally believe you unidentified woman.
Funny how the Establishment is always so quick to accuse others of underage illicit activities.
Almost like they’re accusing their enemies of what they’re guilty of.
Innocent until proven guilty.
And they’re not getting Matt’s spirits down.
Here’s what he posted on Friday on X.
Haha!
Can we have Nathan Wade and Fani Willis testify at all the Trump Trials?
