Hacker breaches confidential documents in Matt Gaetz misconduct case

An unidentified hacker accessed confidential testimony related to sexual misconduct allegations against Matt Gaetz, a lawyer involved in the case reported. The documents included witness transcripts from a lawsuit brought by a Gaetz associate. The lawsuit, which has been dismissed, involved claims that Gaetz paid for sex with two women, one of whom was a minor at the time. The hacker accessed a shared file among lawyers, but there is no indication the documents have been published. Gaetz resigned from Congress after being nominated by Donald Trump for attorney general. The future of a House Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz remains uncertain following his resignation.
