Woman testifies to House committee about sexual encounter with Matt Gaetz at age 17
A woman testified to the House Ethics Committee that she had sexual relations with Rep. Matt Gaetz when she was 17. This comes as the committee's investigation into Gaetz has ended following his resignation from Congress. Gaetz has denied the allegations, calling them false and a smear. The Department of Justice previously investigated him for sex trafficking but did not file charges. The Ethics Committee had subpoenaed the woman, and while it was expected to release a report, Gaetz's resignation means it has lost jurisdiction. However, the report could still be made public during his Senate confirmation process for attorney general.
