Witness claims she saw Gaetz engage in sexual act with minor, lawyer says
cnn.com —
A lawyer representing two women in the House Ethics Committee investigation of former Rep. Matt Gaetz confirmed that one client testified she saw Gaetz having sex with a minor. This testimony was part of a now-dropped inquiry into Gaetz's alleged misconduct. The House Ethics Committee had been looking into various allegations against Gaetz, including sexual misconduct and drug use. Gaetz has denied all wrongdoing, including any sexual relations with minors. The investigation gained attention after President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to nominate Gaetz as attorney general. Gaetz's resignation from Congress ended the committee's jurisdiction over him, leading to calls for the release of the investigation's findings.
