Woman testifies about alleged encounter involving Matt Gaetz and 17-year-old girl
A woman testified that she saw former Rep. Matt Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old girl in 2017, according to her attorney. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and claims he never had a relationship with the girl. The House Ethics Committee's investigation into Gaetz, which included allegations of sex trafficking, effectively ended after he resigned from Congress. The Justice Department previously closed its investigation without filing charges. Gaetz has been nominated by Trump to lead the Justice Department, raising concerns among some Senate Republicans. The House committee is also looking into allegations of sexual misconduct and improper gifts related to Gaetz.
