A Florida businessman who is a key figure in the sex and drug allegations against former Congressman Matt Gaetz has called the House Ethics Committee’s biased investigation report “reckless,” demanding the retraction of multiple “demonstrably false statements,” The National Pulse can reveal.
Lawyers representing Christopher Dorworth note that former Congressman Gaetz is not even under the Committee’s jurisdiction before explaining in a letter sent just hours after the committee’s report was leaked to the corporate media that it contains at least three falsehoods.
The first involves an allegation that Gaetz invited people to Dorworth’s home on July 15, 2017. Dorworth states that Gaetz did not invite anyone to his home and that the Committee’s evidence that he did is “a gate log that doesn’t include Gaetz’s name on it” and references to “an affidavit and deposition transcripts that say nothing about Gaetz inviting anyone to [Dorworth’s] home.”
Another claim is that Dorworth was confronted with cell phone records during his deposition, but Dorthworth denies this occurred. The records, lawyers claim, were deemed “Attorneys eyes only” and were not reviewed by Dorworth or experts.
Finally, Dorworth’s lawyers note that the Committee claims it “requested, through counsel, that Mr. Dorworth clarify his testimony regarding his whereabouts on the evening of July 15, 2017; his counsel did not respond.” They say they did, in fact, send an email to Committee staff that included exculpatory documents supporting both Dorworth and Gaetz’s public statements regarding the accusations.
The letter concludes by noting disappointment, but not surprise, at “the haphazard and careless manner in which [the Committee’s] was drafted and now published,” branding it “sloppy.”
The report on the Committee investigation into Gaetz was leaked to the media over the weekend, with several outlets publishing claims that Gaetz paid for sex from women and purchased illegal drugs. Gaetz denies the allegations and notes that the Biden-Harris Justice Department (DOJ) declined to charge him with anything.
On Monday, December 23, Gaetz filed a lawsuit against the Committee to prevent the publication of the report, arguing that the Committee not only does not have jurisdiction over him but that he would suffer reputational and professional damage from the report.

Find out who leaked it and sue them for libel. Then use discovery to expose the whole deep state extortion ring.

IOW. The backbench guild.
Representatives useless enough that they get put on the homecoming committee or something.
wild was voted out of office and i believe the instigator in this. I think she’s the leadker.
“Six ways to Sunday?” I don’t know, maybe Chuck Schumer could shed some light on it.
Gantz needs to sue the $hit out of these liars, and anyone else who defamed him with fictious slander,
SUSAN WILD is very suspect!
Would almost guarantee it’s Wild!
She’s essentially scum of the earth!
The cat’s already out of the bag.

As if the democrats care about facts when it comes to destroying their enemies.
The bastard democrats are too sneaky for that. They simply declare it was not a criminal investigation and make it disappear. Same thing will happen to the January 6 BS hearings. Not a criminal court and they were all protected by the immunity these scumbags have from lying
It would have been smarter for them to say nothing than show their own lack of ethics like this. It also sends a signal to Trump that for much of congress it is business as usual and they are out to screw him over before he is sworn in one more time.
As if that worked the last time.
If this was a leak and not a genuine, legit disclosure decided upon by the committee, then the person who did it would have no Congressional immunity.
And the libel and slander that the J6 committee members have done when they were NOT in Congressional sessions shouldn’t be given immunity either.
I’d like to believe that not one word of this is true!
Also would like to know how each member of the committee voted!
Serious question because I don’t know. Has there ever been a democrat party leaker prosecuted?
ITCHBA !
