New allegations have emerged against former congressman Matt Gaetz, who is now a nominee for attorney general. A lawyer for two women claims Gaetz attended up to 10 drug-fueled sex parties during his first term in Congress. The lawyer, Joel Sheppard, stated that his clients testified to the House Ethics Committee about these parties. One woman alleged she witnessed Gaetz sexually assault an underage friend. Gaetz has denied all allegations and has not been charged with any crime. Gaetz resigned from Congress last week before a House Ethics Committee vote on releasing a report regarding the investigation. His associate, Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty in 2021 to multiple charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, and is cooperating with federal investigators.
