In April 2021, the House Ethics Committee also announced an investigation.[9] In September 2022, career prosecutors recommended not to charge Gaetz in the sex-trafficking investigation, telling Justice Department superiors that a conviction is unlikely in part because of credibility questions about the two central witnesses.[10], leaving open the question of whether the whole investigation might have been a politically motivated operation.
