Rep. Dave Joyce is warning that threats to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy are strictly about personal vengeance.
“The idea that somehow the speaker’s responsible for his having an ethics investigation, I could tell you is completely false,” Mr. Joyce, who is a member of the Ethics Committee, said at a Politico event.
The House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into Mr. Gaetz in 2021 over allegations of sexual misconduct, drug use and lobbying violations. Investigators started contacting witnesses in July. Mr. McCarthy told CNN Wednesday that Mr. Gaetz was working with Rep. Eric Swalwell, California Democrat, to oust him. He said Mr. Gaetz is motivated by the ethics probe.
Mr. Gaetz told reporters earlier this week that he doesn’t expect to “get compliance” on certain spending bills, and would call a vote known as a motion to vacate to remove Mr. McCarthy as speaker.
