A woman testified under oath at the House Ethics Committee that Matt Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17:
The woman who was at the center of a yearslong Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations surrounding Rep. Matt Gaetz testified to the House Ethics Committee that the now-former Florida congressman had sex with her when she was 17 years old, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News.
President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Gaetz had been tapped to serve as attorney general, overseeing the very branch of government that previously conducted its own investigation of him, which ended last year without charges being brought.
Gaetz resigned from office following Trump’s announcement. This came as the House Ethics Committee was in the final stages of its investigation, said sources, who added that the committee was preparing to meet this week to deliberate over whether to release a final report on the matter.
In Florida, this is illegal as well as immoral.

Part of the Justice Department probe into Gaetz focused on a party at Dorworth’s Orlando-area home on July 15, 2017. Witnesses said that Gaetz attended the party, where young women, including the minor, were given drugs and bedrooms were made available for sexual activities. The Justice Department closed the Gaetz criminal probe without filing charges in 2023. The chief problem with the case, sources told the Herald at the time, was the lack of credibility of two key witnesses: Greenberg and the victim, who later became a porn star on social media. But the Justice Department had other witnesses and forensic evidence, according to several lawyers representing women who provided statements to the government. Sources said there were text messages, photos, and Venmo transactions to back up many of the allegations against Gaetz.
I wish I could tell you that this would be disqualifying for a would-be Attorney General of the United States, but for the party that has Donald Trump as its Emperor God…
