Matt Gaetz Faces Intensified Scrutiny Amid New Allegations and Legal Battles

The controversy surrounding former Rep. Matt Gaetz has intensified following his nomination as attorney general by President-elect Donald Trump. Gaetz faces allegations of sexual misconduct, including paying for sex and involvement with a minor, which he denies. A House Ethics Committee report on these allegations is pending, but Gaetz's recent resignation complicates its release. Meanwhile, a hacker reportedly accessed private depositions related to the case. Gaetz's nomination faces opposition from both parties, and his confirmation remains uncertain.
