The House Ethics Committee has subpoenaed Rep. Matt Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend as part of its reopened investigation into the Florida Republican. The committee has asked for the unnamed woman to appear via a Zoom call on Feb. 29, the woman’s lawyer told ABC News and CNN. “I can confirm I received a subpoena on behalf of my client,” her lawyer, Tim Jansen, told ABC News. “We will certainly appear before the committee as required.
The federal investigation into Gaetz stemmed from a criminal indictment of his formerly close associate, Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg, on a slew of charges that included the sex trafficking of a child. Greenberg pleaded guilty in 2021 and agreed to cooperate with federal investigators. The Justice Department ultimately closed its probe into Gaetz last year without charging him. But the House Ethics Committee’s investigation, which first began in 2021, continues.
