A woman testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed former Congressman Matt Gaetz having sex with her when she was 17. This comes after a lengthy Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations against Gaetz, which ended without charges last year. Gaetz resigned after being named by President-elect Donald Trump as attorney general. The House Ethics Committee is finalizing its investigation, having subpoenaed multiple witnesses, including Gaetz's former girlfriend, who provided testimony about parties involving drugs and underage individuals. Gaetz has consistently denied any wrongdoing, claiming the allegations are false. He stated that payments he made to women were mischaracterized as payments for sex. The committee has obtained various records, including Venmo transactions related to the investigation.
