wmur.com

Former Congressman Matt Gaetz faces renewed allegations of sexual misconduct. An attorney for two women involved in a House Ethics Committee investigation claims one witnessed Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old in 2017. Gaetz has denied the allegations and highlighted a previous Justice Department investigation that did not result in charges against him. The House Ethics Committee, which paused its investigation after Gaetz's recent resignation, plans to meet Wednesday to discuss releasing its findings. House Speaker Mike Johnson has stated that the report should not be made public since Gaetz is no longer in Congress.
