DOJ document reveals payments by Matt Gaetz to women during investigation

A Justice Department document reportedly shows former U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz made payments to women during a sex trafficking investigation. The inquiry, which lasted three years, was closed last year without charges against Gaetz. The document indicates Gaetz paid thousands of dollars to two women who testified they had sex with him for money. Gaetz has denied these allegations. Gaetz was recently nominated for attorney general by President-elect Donald Trump. A spokesperson for Trump’s campaign criticized the release of the document, claiming it is part of a political attack.
