Matt Gaetz no longer under investigation following congressional resignation

Matt Gaetz is no longer under investigation following his resignation from Congress. The sex-trafficking investigation, which began in 2021, effectively ended when he stepped down after being named a potential attorney general candidate. Gaetz's sister-in-law publicly accused him of being a pedophile, expressing no surprise at the investigation. Gaetz's wife defended him, citing her sister's past behavior as problematic. The House Ethics Committee has faced pressure to release its report on Gaetz but recently canceled a meeting to vote on the matter. The reasons for the cancellation are unclear.
