A woman testified to the House Ethics Committee that Matt Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17. This testimony occurred during an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. Gaetz, now nominated for Attorney General, denies the claims. Gaetz resigned from the House on Wednesday, just before the Ethics Committee was set to release a damaging report on him. Texas Senator John Cornyn has called for the report to be made public, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding Gaetz's nomination. The investigation into Gaetz included a sex trafficking inquiry led by the current Attorney General, but he was never charged with a crime. Gaetz has consistently denied all allegations against him.
