Former Rep. Matt Gaetz admitted to "womanizing" more that he should have in a post to X while he continued to deny allegations that he had sexual encounters with underage women.

"In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated - even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court - which is why no such claim was ever made in court," Gaetz wrote in the tweet posted Wednesday morning.
