An unauthorized person accessed confidential files related to allegations against Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. The files included unredacted testimonies from women claiming Gaetz had sexual encounters with them when one was a minor. The breach was reported to attorneys involved in a civil case against Gaetz's former associate, Joel Greenberg, who pleaded guilty to sex trafficking. Gaetz has denied the allegations, and the Justice Department previously closed its investigation without charges. Gaetz's nomination faces scrutiny from Senate Republicans, with some expressing concerns. The House Ethics Committee's investigation into Gaetz, which includes allegations of sexual misconduct, concluded after his recent resignation from Congress.
