A hacker has accessed a file containing testimony related to former Rep. Matt Gaetz and allegations of sexual misconduct with an underage girl. The file includes sworn statements from two women, one of whom claims to have had sex with Gaetz when she was 17. The documents were shared among lawyers and reportedly contain information sealed by the Justice Department and the House Ethics Committee. Gaetz resigned from Congress last week, ending the committee's investigation, but it may still release its findings. The House committee plans to meet to discuss the potential release of its report. Some attorneys representing the women involved have called for the report to be made public.
