Hacker breaches confidential documents in Matt Gaetz misconduct case, lawyer reports

An unidentified hacker accessed confidential documents related to sexual misconduct allegations against Matt Gaetz, according to lawyer Joel Leppard. The documents include witness testimony from women who accused Gaetz of paying for sex and engaging with a minor. The lawsuit connected to these allegations has been dismissed, but it involved incidents investigated by the Justice Department and the House Ethics Committee. Gaetz resigned from Congress after being nominated for a Cabinet position by Donald Trump. The House Ethics Committee is set to meet soon, as some Senate Republicans seek information on the allegations before confirming Gaetz's nomination. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing, and the hacker's motives remain unclear.
