Hello and welcome to the Daily Beans, part two of two of the audio version of the House

Ethics Committee report on Representative Matt Gates.

It was released Monday, December 23rd, early in the morning.

It was supposed to be released after this session ended and after the votes were done.

The votes ended on Friday.

So they released it Monday morning.

We have already gone through the first half of the report, and now we're going to go through the second

half and we are going to start on page 16 which is under section I believe four let me scroll

to make sure yes section four factual background and this is section A with, you know, several subsections.

And now we're on page 16, subsection 2, selected interactions. And that's where I'll begin.

And then every once in a while, I might interject with some commentary. I'll make sure that you

know when it's me and when it's the report.

So here we go with the report.

Selected interactions based on the evidentiary record,

the committee identified at least 20 occasions from the beginning of 2017 through the middle of 2020

where there was substantial evidence that Representative Matt Gates met with women who

were paid for sex and or drugs. The committee also received testimony related to multiple

additional events, trips, or parties where Representative Gates may have paid women for sex and

drugs, although the committee could not determine the specific dates or locations

for all of them. To the extent Representative Gates paid money to women in connection with those

trips, at least some such transactions are reflected in the chart discussed in the prior section.
