Two women allege Matt Gaetz paid for sex and one claims to have seen him with a minor

Two women testified to the House Ethics Committee that former Congressman Matt Gaetz paid them for sex, with one claiming to have seen him with a 17-year-old. Their statements were cross-checked against Gaetz's Venmo records. Gaetz resigned from Congress on November 13, shortly after being nominated for Attorney General. The ethics investigation into him continues, but the committee lacks jurisdiction over former members. House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes releasing the investigation report. Despite the allegations, former President Trump supports Gaetz's nomination, calling the claims baseless. Gaetz has faced scrutiny for past behavior, including a previous investigation into claims he paid minors for sex, which the Justice Department did not pursue.
