Gaetz Faces Ethics Scrutiny Amidst Allegations and GOP Concerns

A woman testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed former congressman Matt Gaetz having sex with a minor, according to her attorney. This testimony was part of a now-dropped investigation into Gaetz, who has denied any wrongdoing. The Department of Justice had previously investigated Gaetz for sex crimes but did not press charges. The issue has resurfaced as President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to nominate Gaetz as attorney general, raising concerns about his potential control over sensitive investigative files. Gaetz's resignation from Congress ended the Ethics Committee's jurisdiction over him, and there is debate over whether the committee's findings should be released.
