"House Ethics Committee Subpoenas Matt Gaetz's Ex-Girlfriend in Sex Party Investigation"

The House Ethics Committee has issued a subpoena for the testimony of Rep. Matt Gaetz's ex-girlfriend as part of its ongoing investigation into the Florida Republican. The committee is demanding her appearance over a Zoom call on Feb. 29, and sources indicate they are interested in speaking with her about allegations related to Gaetz, including payments for sex, drug use, potential lobbying violations, and a 2018 trip to the Bahamas. Gaetz has criticized the committee's actions, claiming they are retaliatory, while his ex-girlfriend's lawyer has stated she will invoke her Fifth Amendment right during the testimony.
