A woman has testified that she witnessed former U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz having sex with a minor, according to her lawyer. This testimony was given to the House Ethics Committee, which is investigating Gaetz for alleged sexual misconduct and drug use. The lawyer, Joel Leppard, has called for the Ethics Committee to release its report on Gaetz as the Senate considers his nomination for attorney general. He emphasized the need for transparency regarding the allegations. In response, a spokesperson for Gaetz pointed out that the Department of Justice previously cleared him of any charges. Gaetz was recently nominated by President-elect Donald Trump, who praised his work in Congress.
