Jimmy Gomez: “Mr. Smith promised he would testify but then he went back on his word.”

I respect the Committee's process and am confident that a full and impartial review of the facts will bear that out.

As I said when the existence of an inquiry was first reported two months ago in the media, years ago, I made personal mistakes outside my marriage.

I am deeply sorry to my wife for the pain and embarrassment that I have brought into our lives.

I made personal mistakes outside my marriage. Although my actions were consensual in nature and haven’t violated the law or House Ethics rules, that doesn’t diminish the impact that these mistakes have made on those I care about the most.
