Trump pick Matt Gaetz under further scrutiny amid fresh allegations
Briefly

Attorney Joel Leppard has put forth serious allegations against former Congressman Matt Gaetz, claiming he paid women for sex, including an incident involving a minor.
Leppard states one key testimony reveals that at a July 2017 party, a witness saw Gaetz engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl, raising significant legal implications.
Trump's transition spokesperson dismissed the allegations as baseless, arguing they are attempts to undermine Gaetz's reputation during the new administration's formation.
Although Gaetz faced a long investigation concerning child sex trafficking, the Justice Department found insufficient evidence to charge him, leading to a complex narrative of legal scrutiny.
