Matt Gaetz, recently nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for Attorney General, is facing allegations of paying for s3x and engaging in a s3xual relationship with a minor.
According to Florida attorney Joel Leppard, representing two women involved, his clients testified before the House ethics committee investigating Gaetz. They allege that Gaetz used Venmo to pay them for s3x.
One of the women claimed she witnessed Gaetz having s3x with her 17-year-old friend during a house party in July 2017. Leppard stated that Gaetz was reportedly unaware of the girl’s age at the time and ceased contact after discovering she was a minor. He allegedly resumed communication only after she turned 18.
Gaetz resigned from Congress last week after Trump nominated him for Attorney General, a move that shut down the ethics committee’s investigation into Gaetz. For his part, Gaetz has denied all allegations of s3xual misconduct.
