Former House speaker says Matt Gaetz led charge to remove him to quash allegations Florida representative ‘slept with a 17-year-old’
The far-right Florida Republican Matt Gaetz forced Kevin McCarthy out as House speaker last year “because he slept with a 17-year-old” and wanted a congressional ethics investigation to end, McCarthy charged on Tuesday.
“I’ll give you the truth why I’m not speaker,” McCarthy said, at an event at Georgetown University in Washington.
