| Florida Representative Matt Gaetz has filed an ethics complaint against former Speaker Kevin McCarthy after he reportedly shoved one of the members who voted to oust him in the halls of Congress. Mr McCarthy was seen by reporters elbowing Rep Tim Burchett, who told CNN afterwards that it was a "clean shot to the kidneys". Claudia Grisales of NPR was speaking to Mr Burchett at the time on Tuesday, writing on X that she had "never seen this on Capitol Hill". Mr Gaetz, the instigator of the push to oust Mr McCarthy in October, accused the former speaker of assaulting Mr Busrchett in his ethics complaint. Mr McCarthy later appeared on CNN saying: "I guess our shoulders hit ... I did not kidney punch him." "I didn't punch anybody," he added.
