Someone accessed files said to contain damaging info about Trump AG-nominee Gaetz, lawyer says

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — An attorney says an unauthorized person gained access to a file containing confidential testimony from women who have made allegations about former Rep. Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump’s pick to become the next attorney general. Attorneys involved in a civil case brought by a Gaetz associate were notified this week that an unauthorized person accessed a file shared between lawyers that included unredacted testimony from a woman who has said Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17 and a second woman who says she saw the encounter. Gaetz has denied all the allegations and the Justice Department ended its sex trafficking investigation without any criminal charges against him.
