House Ethics Committee Investigates 51-Year-Old Jimmy Gomez Over Sexual Misconduct Claims

CNN reported the House Ethics Committee opened a probe into Rep. Jimmy Gomez after allegations surfaced that he kissed another lawmaker’s aide at a 2023 summer party.
Gomez, 51, admitted to cheating on his wife and said he would cooperate, while insisting his conduct was consensual and did not violate the law or House ethics rules.
Three sources said the panel uncovered additional sexual misconduct allegations while reviewing the New York Post report; Gomez’s office did not immediately comment to the Daily Beast.
The case adds to a wider ethics crackdown on Capitol Hill, with the committee also confirming last month that it is investigating Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards over sexual harassment allegations.
