Woman told House Ethics Committee she saw Gaetz have sex with a minor, lawyer says
1 min read
Attorney Joel Leppard revealed that one of his clients testified before the House Ethics Committee, claiming to have witnessed former Congressman Matt Gaetz engaging in sex with a minor. Gaetz, who has denied all allegations, was under investigation for sexual misconduct and sex trafficking, though the DOJ decided not to press charges. The investigation ended with Gaetz’s resignation from Congress in 2024. The committee’s findings remain unpublished, leading to calls for transparency, particularly after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Gaetz for Attorney General. Speaker Mike Johnson opposed releasing the report, citing concerns about setting a bad precedent.
