Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was nominated to be attorney general in the next Trump administration, has been embroiled in controversy following allegations of sexual misconduct. Two women testified to House Ethics Committee investigators that Gaetz paid them for sex, with one woman claiming she witnessed him engaging in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl.
Despite these allegations, Gaetz has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, including having a relationship with a minor. The Justice Department concluded its own investigation into Gaetz without filing criminal charges.
