Matt Gaetz, nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Justice Department, is accused of paying for sex at a party in Florida in 2017. The allegations include claims that he had sex with a 17-year-old girl at the same event. The attorney for two women alleges they were paid for sex by Gaetz multiple times. They testified to the House Ethics Committee, which has been investigating Gaetz since 2021. The committee is set to meet to discuss its findings. Gaetz has denied the allegations, claiming they are part of an extortion plot. His representatives called the claims "baseless." The Ethics Committee has not yet released its report on the investigation.
