Woman testified that she saw Matt Gaetz having sex with 17-year-old, attorney says

The House Ethics Committee is investigating Rep. Matt Gaetz following testimony from two women who allege he paid them for sex, with one stating she saw him with a 17-year-old. This testimony is significant as Gaetz is being considered for the Attorney General position in a potential second Trump administration. Despite Gaetz's denials regarding any relationships with minors, the allegations have raised serious questions about his political future. The inquiry gained urgency after Gaetz's resignation from Congress, leading to discussions about his suitability for the role.

Gaetz's attorneys have described the allegations as politically motivated, while investigators are also looking into possible misconduct related to sex trafficking. This case highlights ongoing issues of accountability and ethics in politics, with potential lasting impacts on Gaetz's career and the broader political landscape.
