Pelosi says Matt Gaetz should be removed from Judiciary Committee if allegations true

Congressman Matt Gaetz, facing accusations of a sexual relationship with an underage girl, should at a minimum be removed from the House Judiciary Committee if the claims are true, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday.

Pelosi also said the House Ethics Committee should consider the allegations against the Florida Republican. Gaetz, who has been one of former President Donald Trump's closest allies since coming to Congress in 2017, has denied any accusations of wrongdoing.
