One woman "said that she brought cocaine to at least one event with Representative Gaetz and that she witnessed him taking cocaine or ecstasy on at least five occasions," the report reads.

Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing.

One section of the report narrows in on Gaetz's relationship with his former friend Joel Greenberg.

Greenberg and Gaetz attended parties with women who were invited by Greenberg using a website. The site connected older men and younger women who were seeking "mutually beneficial relationships".

Women interviewed by the committee said the website was widely understood to be and exchange of companionship for money, "at minimum," according to the report.

The committee said it learned that Greenberg and Gaetz would split the costs of the women, the hotels and the drugs from these interactions.

In addition the committee said Gaetz individually paid women to attend parties.

Greenberg was indicted on charges including sex trafficking of a child. He co-operated with officials and was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
