Woman testifies to ethics panel about witnessing Matt Gaetz with minor at Florida party

nypost.com

A woman testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Matt Gaetz having sex with a minor at a 2017 party in Florida. Her lawyer stated she reported this incident in April, amid ongoing investigations into Gaetz's alleged misconduct. This testimony follows a report that another key witness claimed Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17. Gaetz has denied the allegations, calling them a "false smear" and asserting that they are part of a plot against him. Gaetz recently resigned from Congress after being nominated for a cabinet position. His resignation ends the Ethics Committee's investigation, but some senators are requesting the committee's findings before considering his nomination.
