Unauthorized party leaks depositions in Matt Gaetz investigation

An unauthorized party has accessed depositions related to investigations of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, including testimony from a minor he allegedly had sex with. The leak is part of a civil defamation case involving lobbyist Chris Dorworth. Gaetz, who resigned from Congress last week after being nominated as attorney general by Donald Trump, faced investigations into sexual misconduct and drug use. The House Ethics Committee's jurisdiction over him has ended due to his resignation. The Ethics Committee had been set to release a report on Gaetz's conduct but postponed the meeting. Some lawmakers are advocating for the report's public release, while House Speaker Mike Johnson noted that the committee cannot act on non-members.
