An anonymous hacker has accessed files from the House Ethics Committee related to former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. The documents include sworn testimony from a woman claiming she had sex with Gaetz when she was 17 in 2017. The hacker, known as "Altam Beezley," also obtained testimony from a witness and Gaetz's former campaign treasurer. Gaetz has denied the allegations, which resurfaced after he resigned from Congress last week. The files are part of a civil lawsuit involving Gaetz's friend, Christopher Dorworth, who is suing the alleged victim for defamation. The situation is linked to ongoing investigations into Gaetz's conduct.
