Gaetz Faces Scrutiny Over Payments Amid House Probe and Legal Challenges
TL;DR Summary
Records obtained by the House Ethics Committee suggest that former Rep. Matt Gaetz made over $10,000 in Venmo payments to two women who later testified in sexual misconduct probes.

Gaetz, who resigned from the House after being tapped by Donald Trump for a role in his administration, has denied any wrongdoing. The Justice Department previously investigated Gaetz but did not bring charges. The House Ethics Committee is set to discuss its report on Gaetz.
