New report details payments linked to Rep. Matt Gaetz raising concerns over attorney general appointment

A new report from the New York Times reveals extensive payments allegedly made by Rep. Matt Gaetz to young women, raising concerns about his potential appointment as attorney general under Donald Trump. The report includes a DOJ chart detailing numerous money transfers linked to Gaetz. While the DOJ did not file charges, the House Ethics Committee received the information. A lawyer for two women claims they were paid a total of $10,000 for encounters with Gaetz, typically receiving $200 to $500 each time. Gaetz has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct. Trump's communications director suggested the documents were leaked to damage Gaetz's reputation, but the Times noted there are no classified markings on the materials.
