Matt Gaetz linked to $10,000 in Venmo payments to women in House ethics probe

The House Ethics Committee is investigating Matt Gaetz over $10,000 in Venmo payments made to two women who were witnesses in the probe. The payments occurred between July 2017 and January 2019, totaling $10,224. Gaetz's attorney has claimed the payments were for sex, and he is also linked to a separate investigation involving a minor. The Ethics Committee is reviewing a report on Gaetz's conduct, which includes allegations of drug-fueled parties. Gaetz recently resigned after being nominated for attorney general by Donald Trump. Some Senate Republicans are interested in the Ethics report, which may be subpoenaed during the confirmation process.
