"In so doing, Miami-Dade Democratic Party has taken action to hold one of President Trump's top defenders accountable for violating legal ethics by risking American's national security to 'grandstand' in Congress," the statement read.
The Miami-Dade Democratic Party in Florida filed a complaint with the Florida Bar against Republican Representative Matt Gaetz on Thursday, the day after Gaetz filed an ethics complaint against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.ALEX WONG/GETTY
The statement cites an instance in October 2019 when Gaetz and other Republicans entered the closed-door deposition of Pentagon official Laura Cooper during the impeachment proceedings against Trump. After demanding that Democrats hold open hearings, Gaetz and his colleagues remained in the meeting room for hours, eventually ordering pizza.
Gaetz also attempted to sit in on the deposition of former National Security Council member Fiona Hill in October 2019 but was asked to leave because he did not belong to the committee in charge of receiving Hill's testimony.

(18,770 posts)The Florida Bar has confirmed it has a file open regarding Rep. Matt Gaetz conduct during the House impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump.
The news comes one day after the Miami-Dade Democratic Party announced they had filed a complaint of their own. The complaint alleged Gaetz violated Florida Bar rules by attempting to barge into closed hearings during the House investigation.
A Florida Bar spokesperson said they had not yet received the complaint from the Miami-Dade Democrats. That complaint was initiated by Party Chair Steve Simeonidis.
But because a separate file has already been opened, the spokesperson explained the body will not be acting on Simeonidis complaint either way.
