A witness has alleged that Attorney General-designate Matt Gaetz had sexual relations with a minor in 2017. This claim was presented to the House Ethics Committee as part of an ongoing investigation into Gaetz's conduct. Gaetz resigned from Congress after being nominated by then President-elect Donald Trump for the Justice Department. House Speaker Mike Johnson has not released the committee report, but the witness's attorney insists the public deserves to know her account. Gaetz has denied the allegations and has not faced criminal charges. A former associate of Gaetz is currently serving time for sex trafficking a minor, which adds context to the ongoing investigation.
