Hacker accesses file with damaging testimony about Matt Gaetz

boston.com

A hacker accessed a secure file containing damaging testimony about Matt Gaetz, a former Florida congressman. The file includes sworn statements from a woman who claims she had sex with Gaetz when she was 17 and a witness to the encounter. The hacker, using the name Altam Beezley, downloaded the file on Monday. It contains unredacted information, including personal details of witnesses, and is said to be more harmful to Gaetz than to his accusers. The documents are part of a civil suit filed by Christopher Dorworth against the women involved and Joel Greenberg, a former associate of Gaetz. The House Committee on Ethics is set to meet to discuss releasing its own gathered materials.
