A woman who attended a 2017 party with former Rep. Matt Gaetz told the House Ethics Committee she witnessed the then-recently elected congressman having sex with a minor, according to her attorney.
The woman's attorney, Joel Leppard, released a statement on Friday, calling on the committee to release the findings of its yearslong review of Gaetz. The committee planned to vote Friday on whether to release their report, but the meeting was canceled after President-elect Donald Trump announced he intended to nominate Gaetz as attorney general and the Florida Republican resigned from Congress.
"As the Senate considers former Rep. Gaetz's nomination for Attorney General, several questions demand answers," Leppard said in a statement. "What if sworn testimony detailed conduct that would disqualify anyone from serving as our nation's chief law enforcement officer?"
