Recently, two women testified to the House Ethics Committee regarding allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general. According to their lawyer, the women claimed they were paid for 'sexual favors' by Gaetz. One of the women also testified that she witnessed Gaetz engaging in sexual activity with her underage friend in 2017.
Despite these accusations, Gaetz has consistently denied any wrongdoing. The lawyer representing the women mentioned that his client did not believe Gaetz was aware of the friend's underage status at the time of the incident.
The House Ethics Committee initiated an investigation into these allegations, but the probe came to an abrupt end when Gaetz resigned from Congress following his nomination by Trump. The committee is currently deliberating on whether to release a report on its findings and is scheduled to convene for a meeting on Wednesday.
These developments have sparked significant public interest and raised questions about the conduct of public officials. The outcome of the committee's decision regarding the release of the probe report will likely impact Gaetz's reputation and future career prospects.
