Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is “innocent until proven guilty” in the House Ethics Committee’s probe into the lawmaker following allegations of sexual misconduct, the House GOP leader said Thursday.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) made the remarks in response to a question from a reporter about whether Gaetz will be removed from the House Judiciary Committee, which oversees the Justice Department that launched an investigation into the allegations against him.
