A woman testified to the House ethics panel that she saw Matt Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old girl in 2017. This comes as Gaetz faces allegations of sex trafficking, which he denies. The Justice Department previously ended its investigation without charges. Gaetz resigned from Congress after being nominated by Trump for attorney general. The House ethics investigation, which began in 2021, is now looking into allegations of sexual misconduct and other potential violations. Two women claimed Gaetz paid them for sex, sometimes using Venmo. Concerns about his nomination have been raised by several Senate Republicans, given the nature of the allegations against him.
