A hacker accessed confidential depositions related to Matt Gaetz, a former Florida congressman. The file includes testimony from a woman who claims Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17, along with a witness's account. The unauthorized access occurred on Monday, with the hacker using the name Altam Breezley. The file contained hundreds of pages of unredacted documents, including sensitive information under seal. Gaetz has denied the allegations and was not criminally charged. The investigation by the Justice Department ended last week after he resigned from Congress. It is unclear if the hacked information has been made public.
