Gaetz's Alleged Escapades: Sex, Drugs, and 'Pretty Woman'

In the midst of allegations about a relationship with a 17-year-old, new claims have surfaced about former Congressman Matt Gaetz. According to his attorney, Gaetz paid two women to travel to New York in 2019. They were supposed to have sex with him and then enjoy a show of their choice. The women allegedly exchanged text messages with Gaetz about these payments. After appearing on Fox News' talk show "Outnumbered, " Gaetz took the women to dinner and then to see the Broadway show "Pretty Woman. " Gaetz's attorney also mentioned that the women were paid to travel to the Bahamas, where the alleged sexual misconduct with a minor took place. This trip occurred after the woman had turned 18. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing, and his resignation from Congress halted the ethics investigation. The story is complex, involving drugs, an underage sex trafficking victim, and Gaetz himself. One of the attorney's clients reported witnessing Gaetz having sex with a minor. Gaetz's supporters maintain that the allegations are baseless and aim to disrupt a potential second Trump administration. The House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing their investigative report, but Gaetz's resignation ended the investigation. It's still unclear if the committee will make the findings public, despite calls from Democratic leaders.
