Lawyer calls for release of findings in Matt Gaetz ethics investigation over allegations of sexual activity with minor
A lawyer for two witnesses in the House ethics investigation of Matt Gaetz is calling for the release of the committee's findings. The witnesses allege they saw Gaetz engage in sexual activity with a minor, raising concerns about his potential appointment as attorney general. One witness testified about witnessing Gaetz with a minor, while another lawyer represents the former minor, who claims to have had encounters with Gaetz at age 17. Gaetz denies the allegations, which the Justice Department did not pursue after a lengthy investigation. House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes releasing the findings, citing precedent for former members. The investigation effectively ended when Gaetz resigned from Congress after being selected for Trump's justice department.
