Matt Gaetz is facing new allegations involving two women he allegedly paid for sex. An attorney for the women claims they testified to the House Ethics Committee about encounters with Gaetz, including a trip to see Pretty Woman on Broadway in January 2019. The attorney, Joel Leppard, stated that the women were flown to New York and paid for sexual favors. They reportedly met Gaetz before his Fox News appearance and attended the show afterward. Gaetz has denied the allegations, which could impact his nomination for attorney general. The House Ethics Committee is under pressure to release its investigation findings. Gaetz's recent resignation from Congress has complicated the inquiry, but calls for transparency are growing from both parties.
