After a lengthy back and forth, the Ethics Committee of the US House of Representatives has published the investigation report into the conduct of controversial Republican Matt Gaetz. The report suggests that the former congressman allegedly paid several women for sex - including a 17-year-old.

Originally, US President-elect Donald Trump had nominated him for the position of Attorney General, but Gaetz backed out.

According to the ethics committee, there is "substantial evidence" that the 42-year-old was involved in prostitution, sexual abuse of a minor and illegal drug use. In doing so, Gaetz broke both Florida and federal laws, as well as the rules of conduct of the House of Representatives, according to the report.
