The reopened House ethics probe into Rep. Matt Gaetz continues to ramp up, as the committee in recent weeks has contacted multiple new witnesses as part of its ongoing investigation into the Florida congressman, sources tell ABC News.

In recent days, the Republican-led House Ethics Committee has reached out to multiple new witnesses, expanding its contact with individuals who have ties to the initial Justice Department investigation into Gaetz, said sources, who told ABC News that committee investigators have begun conducting interviews.

Sources say in recent days, in addition to focusing on possible lobbying violations by Gaetz, the Ethics Committee has reached out to witnesses who were questioned as part of the Justice Department's sex trafficking investigation into the Florida congressman.

Pots calling a kettle black. They just can’t help eating their own, can they? And they do it in the name of ethics. What a joke!

i agreed when Ronald Reagan called the US the last great hope of mankind, but things like this make me despair.

And here comes the RINO’s aligned with the Democrats to finally come after Gaetz, Trump’s big ally, to oust him.

I said the Democrats would keep whittling down the Republican caucus until they regain the majority.

They got rid of Santos, then Bill Johnson (R-OH) resigned. The majority is now 2.

And now they're back to whacking Gaetz.

Gaetz used Hunter’s name when he was told not to, that only leadership should comment.

Gaetz very aggressively questioned Chris Wray and said things that were considered too aggressive.

But Gaetz and MTG are outcasts because they don’t give Joe the benefit of the doubt and play run out the clock, which is the obvious strategy.

They wanted to expel Santos (a Republican) to set the precedent for Gaetz.

1) They don’t want to impeach Biden

2) They prefer to work with Joe Biden

3). They give huge budget increases to agencies that go after Trump because they support those Get Trump Investigations and policies.

We’ll be 8 years into investigating Joe and Hunter, and they’ll be done they race to get Gaetz.

Republicans run the Ethics committee. The chairman is a Republican who supported Liz Cheney and Nancy’s J6 Committee to get Trump.

Schiff isn’t being investigated. Swalwell isn’t being investigated. The woman who married her brother isn’t be investigated. Tlaib isn’t being investigated. AOC hasn’t been touched.

The Ethics Committee is run by a Republican.

That Republican is only targeting Republicans.

And he was solidly behind the Get Trump J6 Pelosi stacked Committee, and their decisions.
