House Ethics Committee to discuss report on Matt Gaetz as hacker accesses depositions

The House Ethics Committee will meet on Wednesday to discuss a report regarding former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who faces allegations of sexual misconduct. This comes as a hacker reportedly accessed private depositions related to the case. Gaetz's controversy intensified after President-elect Donald Trump nominated him for attorney general. The Justice Department previously ended its investigation into Gaetz in 2023 without charges, citing credibility issues with key witnesses. The House committee's report may include serious allegations, including testimonies from a minor who claims to have had sex with Gaetz. Gaetz has consistently denied all allegations against him, asserting he has never paid for sex or engaged with minors.
