An attorney representing two women who were witnesses in the House Ethics Committee probe into former congressman Matt Gaetz disclosed on Friday that one of his clients testified to witnessing Gaetz having sex with a minor. The investigation, which has since been dropped, was looking into allegations of sexual misconduct, drug use, improper gifts acceptance, favoritism, and obstruction of government investigations by the Florida Republican.
Despite the testimony, Gaetz has consistently denied any wrongdoing, including the accusations of engaging in sexual activities with a minor or paying for sex. The Department of Justice conducted a separate sex-crimes investigation into Gaetz but decided not to pursue criminal charges against him last year.
