Hacker obtains House ethics testimony on Matt Gaetz as Trump makes calls for AG nominee
Trump spokesperson said Gaetz is 'the right man for the job'
Published November 20, 2024 3:00am ESTNow comes news, first reported by ABC, that an unidentified hacker has obtained the sworn testimony of Matt Gaetz accusers from the House ethics probe and apparently plans to make it public.
The hacker accessed the file through a law firm involved in a civil suit against Joel Greenberg, a former Gaetz pal now serving an 11-year prison term for sex trafficking. The file includes testimony under oath by a woman who says she had sex with Gaetz when she was 17, back in 2017, and from another woman saying she witnessed the sexual encounter.
Asked for comment, Trump transition spokesman Alex Pfeiffer said: "Matt Gaetz will be the next attorney general. He’s the right man for the job and will end the weaponization of our justice system.
"These are baseless allegations intended to derail the second Trump administration. The Biden Justice Department investigated Gaetz for years and cleared him of wrongdoing. The only people who went to prison over these allegations were those lying about Matt Gaetz."
Trump is making calls on behalf of Gaetz, and J.D. Vance is escorting him and other nominees around the Hill.
