Two women testify to House Ethics Committee about Matt Gaetz's alleged misconduct
Two women have testified to the House Ethics Committee that former Rep. Matt Gaetz paid them for sex. One woman claimed she witnessed 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. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and resigned from Congress after being nominated by Trump to lead the Justice Department. The House Ethics Committee's investigation, which began in April 2021, is looking into allegations of sexual misconduct, drug use, and improper gifts. Gaetz's nomination has raised concerns among some Senate Republicans.
