Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) are true then he should be removed from his spot on the House Judiciary Committee. She commented on the investigation into sex-trafficking charges against Gaetz on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz is facing accusations of engaging in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and traveling with her across state lines. While he denies these claims and said the allegations stem from a bribery attempt by a federal official, Pelosi emphasized that if Gaetz is guilty his punishment would fall outside the jurisdiction of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf in fact these allegations are true, of course being removed from the Judiciary Committee is the least that could be done,\u201d she stated. \u201cBut again, I think from what we\u2019ve heard so far this would be a matter for the (House) Ethics Committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2026and my father has even been wearing a wire at the FBI\u2019s direction to catch these criminals.
