Helene Explodes To “Extremely Dangerous” Category 4 Hurricane

There’s new reporting tonight about Matt Gaetz, President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general. The attorney who represents two of the women who were witnesses in the House Ethics Committee probe into former Republican congressman confirmed on Friday that one of his clients saw Gaetz having sex with a minor. "My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Matt Gaetz having sex with a minor," attorney Joel Leppard said. A spokesperson for Gaetz responded to the report with, "Merrick Garland's DOJ cleared Matt Gaetz and didn't charge him. Are you alleging Garland is part of a cover up?” The Department of Justice pursued a yearslong sex-crimes investigation into Gaetz but ultimately decided last year not to pursue criminal charges against him.
