Matt Gaetz Resigns From Congress Amid Controversy

Matt Gaetz has officially announced his departure from Congress, coinciding with his withdrawal from consideration for the role of U.S. Attorney General under President Trump. Amidst ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct, including sex trafficking, Gaetz stated he intends to continue advocating for conservative values but from a new position outside Congress. In a recent interview, he expressed his desire to share stories of corruption and betrayal he observed during his political career. Despite stepping down, he remains optimistic about the future of his district and is excited about new leadership. Gaetz's resignation has raised questions about the House Ethics Committee's report on his alleged misconduct, which may no longer be published due to his departure.
