Other members of Congress saw the tweet as an attempt to intimidate a witness… In July 2020, Politico reported that its investigation had found expenditures by Gaetz that appeared to violate the House ethics rules: spending tens of thousands of dollars for a speech-writing consultant and having a private company install a television studio in his father's home in Niceville, Florida, which Gaetz uses when he appears on television. Gaetz's office acknowledged that he spent $28,000 on speech-writing services, which is prohibited by House rules except in special circumstances and with prior approval from congressional officials, but said that it was a clerical error that it would fix. Of the television studio, Gaetz said that the company received $100 per month from his office, an amount not reported in his congressional spending records, and also charged television networks each time a network connected to the studio… In late February 2021, Gaetz and a dozen other Republican House members skipped votes and enlisted others to vote for them, citing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The congressmens' cell phones and other devices put the secure facility, and U.S. national security, at risk… On January 7, 2021, after Trump supporters violently broke into the U.S. Capitol, Gaetz falsely blamed antifa for the attack, suggesting that rioters were "masquerading as Trump supporters".

The committee deferred its investigation at the request of the Justice Department, but resumed it in June 2023… By June, the federal investigation had reportedly broadened to include obstruction of justice, relating to a phone conversation Gaetz had with a witness.”

He is not qualified in the least. The ONLY reason that Trump wants to make Gaetz the U.S. AG is that Gaetz, being a sycophant, will do what Trump ORDERS him to do. Gaetz is one of the worst of the current GOP politicians, and that is saying something. I would love to give my personal opinion of Gaetz; however, if I gave my honest opinion it would include a LOT of expletives that would violate Quora’s Terms of Service. Anyway, here are some “highlights” of Gaetz’s “career” to date.
