Woman testifies to House panel about alleged sexual encounter with Matt Gaetz at 17

A woman testified before the House Ethics Committee, claiming she had sex with former Congressman Matt Gaetz when she was 17. This comes as the committee considers releasing a report on its findings, which is uncertain since Gaetz is no longer in Congress. Gaetz has denied the allegations, calling them false and a smear. His lawyer stated that the woman had witnesses to support her claims. The Justice Department previously investigated Gaetz but did not file charges against him. The investigation did lead to the conviction of Joel Greenberg, a former associate of Gaetz, who was sentenced to 11 years for sex trafficking involving the same woman.
