And this is the guy that Donald Trump thought was best suited to serve as the nation's top law enforcement official?

Matt Gaetz ethics report finds 'substantial evidence' he participated in statutory rape, prostitution

---

“The record overwhelmingly suggests that Representative Gaetz had sex with multiple women" at a 2017 Florida party, "including the then-17-year-old, for which they were paid," according to a draft of the committee's report.

"Victim A recalled receiving $400 in cash from Representative Gaetz that evening, which she understood to be payment for sex," the report said. "At the time, she had just completed her junior year of high school."

That witness told the committee she had not informed Gaetz she was younger than 18, "nor did he ask her age," the committee reportedly found.

In a post on X, Gaetz last week said he had sent money to girlfriends and women he dated, “even some I never dated but who asked,” and acknowledged he "probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have" when he was younger.

But, he insisted, “I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court − which is why no such claim was ever made in court."

On Monday, he asked a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to stop the Ethics Committee from releasing the report.

I am pretty confident that the list of people Trump has chosen contains few, if any, people who aren't sketchy at best.  He is restocking the swamp in a big way.
