New allegations against former congressman Matt Gaetz have emerged, claiming he paid two women for sex and that one witnessed him with a minor. These claims were made by attorney Joel Leppard during an ABC News interview. Gaetz recently resigned from Congress after being nominated by Donald Trump for attorney general. The House ethics committee had been investigating him for various misconduct allegations, but his resignation paused that inquiry. The committee is set to meet this Wednesday to discuss its findings. Lawmakers from both parties are expressing interest in reviewing the report as they consider Gaetz's nomination.
