A copy of the chart was also provided to the House Ethics Committee, according to the paper. The House Ethics Committee also launched an investigation and was due to release a “highly damaging” report of its findings last week, before Gaetz’s attorney general nomination and subsequent resignation from the House derailed its publication. One of Leppard’s clients received $4,025.27, the diagram allegedly shows, and the other received $3,500. The receipts, which were said to have been displayed during closed-door testimony in the House Ethics Committee probe, reflect transactions between July 2017 and January 2019, when Gaetz was a newly elected representative. On Wednesday, the House Ethics Committee was deadlocked over whether to release the report into Gaetz.
