"Rep. Matt Gaetz Subpoenaed in Defamation Suit by Alleged Minor Sex Partner: Sources"

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has been subpoenaed to sit for a deposition in a civil lawsuit involving allegations of sex with a minor, as part of a suit brought by a friend of the congressman against the young woman and others. The deposition is part of a sprawling defamation and racketeering lawsuit and could see Gaetz asked under oath about his alleged sexual activity with the woman when she was a minor. Gaetz has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing, including the allegations that he had sex with a minor, and is also facing a congressional ethics probe into a string of allegations stemming from the Justice Department investigation.
