☆ House Ethics panel finds Matt Gaetz had sex with 17-year-old, 'regularly' paid for sex
  + stars: | 2024-12-23 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The House Ethics Committee on Monday revealed it found "substantial evidence" that former Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old girl in 2017, and that he "regularly" paid women for sex while he was in Congress. Gaetz also accepted gifts, including a 2018 trip to the Bahamas, "in excess of permissible amounts," the bipartisan committee concluded. "Representative Gaetz has acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House," the report said. But the Ethics Committee, which had paused its own efforts while the DOJ's version played out, reauthorized its investigation in May 2023. News outlets reported at the time that Gaetz's departure came just two days before the Ethics panel was set to vote to release the report.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh went to a holiday party at the home of Matt Schlapp Friday night. Schlapp is the chairman of the influential right-wing group Conservative Political Action Coalition. The appearance has sparked questions about possible conflicts of interest with a sitting Supreme Court justice attending a private party of right-wing leaders. Miller's conservative group, America First Legal, has filed briefs on cases that are pending before the Supreme Court, according to Bloomberg. Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation to establish an enforceable code of conduct for the Supreme Court justices.
☆ Christian advocate tells Congress of 2014 U.S. Supreme Court leak

Alito authored that decision, called Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, and the Hobby Lobby one. Schenck said he was motivated to come forward out of fear Supreme Court staff could unfairly take the blame for this year's leak. Chief Justice John Roberts directed the Supreme Court's marshal to investigate the leak in the Dobbs case, calling it a "betrayal." Democratic lawmakers said Schenck's account underscored the need for legislation requiring the U.S. Supreme Court, which now has a 6-3 conservative majority, to adopt a code of ethics, which unlike lower-level federal courts the high court lacks. "I believe we pushed the boundaries of Christian ethics and compromised the high court's promise to administer equal justice," Schenck said.

Robert Schenck testified that he and fellow evangelicals believed that conservative justices needed shoring up. WASHINGTON—A former antiabortion activist told a House committee on Thursday about a decadeslong operation to gain personal access to conservative Supreme Court justices in a bid to bolster their will to overrule Roe v. Wade. Robert Schenck, who has since broken with the conservative Christian movement, said he and fellow evangelicals believed that conservative justices “were routinely maligned and insulted in the public arena and needed shoring up.”

An evangelical Christian minister testified he was involved in an effort to influence Supreme Court justices' thinking. Robert Schenck told a congressional panel that he gained advance knowledge of a 2014 Supreme Court ruling. "I believe we pushed the boundaries of Christian ethics and comprised the high court's promise to administer equal justice," Schenck said. The allegations have prompted renewed calls from Democratic lawmakers for the Supreme Court justices to abide by an ethics code. "I don't believe a thing Mr. Schneck says," Paoletta, a former clerk for Justice Thomas, told the committee.
