When Matt Gaetz, the president-elect Donald Trump’s choice to head the Justice Department, was a member of the House in 2017.
He paid a woman for sex at a small, invitation-only party in Florida, where prostitution is prohibited, according to the woman’s lawyer on Monday.
Joel Leppard stated in an interview that the lady also claimed to have witnessed Gaetz having sex with her buddy, who was 17 at the time, at the same Orlando party that was invitation-only.
According to Leppard, two women he represents—whom NBC News has chosen not to identify—told House Ethics Committee investigators.
That Gaetz repeatedly paid them for sex and that they think the committee’s findings on Gaetz ought to be made public.
“They are speaking the truth and they want the American people to know the truth,” he stated. One of his customers, who was 19 at the time, was introduced.
