Attorney Joel Leppard claims two women testified that Matt Gaetz paid for sex, with one witnessing him with a 17-year-old girl at a 2017 party. The women have supported their allegations with Venmo records. Although the DOJ had previously investigated Gaetz without filing charges, scrutiny has intensified during his nomination as Attorney General. Both women demand the release of the House Ethics Committee report, which is under consideration. Gaetz has consistently denied any wrongdoing, labeling the allegations as part of a political attack.
