Attorney claims Matt Gaetz paid two women for sex including one underage girl

Two women testified that former Rep. Matt Gaetz paid them for sex, according to their attorney. One woman claimed she saw Gaetz having sex with her 17-year-old friend at a party in 2017. The attorney, Joel Leppard, stated they provided evidence of Venmo payments from Gaetz. Gaetz's representative denied the allegations, calling them baseless. The House Ethics Committee was investigating Gaetz for sexual misconduct but halted its inquiry after he resigned last week. The committee plans to meet to discuss its report on Gaetz.
