Sleazeball Matt Gaetz resigned from his seat in Congress on Wednesday. He did this just hours after Donald Trump shocked and appalled Democrats and Republicans alike when he nominated the accused child sex trafficker to be the country's top law enforcement officer as attorney general.
Gaetz's resignation came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to release a “highly critical” report on his personal conduct, including allegations that he had drug-fueled sex parties with minors and showed off images of his sexual exploits to fellow members on the House floor.
His resignation means the Ethics Committee no longer has jurisdiction over Gaetz, and thus the probe into his behavior is now closed.
