A hacker has reportedly accessed a file containing damaging testimony about Matt Gaetz, a former Florida congressman nominated by Donald Trump for Attorney General. The file includes claims from a woman who alleged she had sex with Gaetz when she was 17. This incident comes as Gaetz faces scrutiny over past allegations of sexual misconduct and sex trafficking, although he has not been charged with any crime. The testimony in the hacked file is related to a civil suit filed by a friend of Gaetz, Christopher Dorworth. The hacked information includes sworn statements from multiple individuals, but it is unclear if the hacker intends to release the material publicly. The testimony does not pertain to ongoing investigations by the Justice Department or the House Ethics Committee.
