Testimony claims Matt Gaetz engaged in sexual conduct with a minor
Two women testified to House Ethics Committee investigators that former Rep. Matt Gaetz paid them for sex. One woman claimed she saw Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old girl in 2017, while he was in Congress. The Justice Department previously investigated Gaetz for sex trafficking but did not file charges. The House committee's investigation ended after Gaetz resigned following his nomination as attorney general by Trump. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing. His nomination has raised concerns among some Senate Republicans, and the House committee is examining allegations of sexual misconduct and other potential violations.
