Gaetz Paid Them for Sex

An attorney representing two women who testified before the House Ethics Committee told ABC News in an interview that former Rep. Matt Gaetz paid both his adult clients for sex.

Florida attorney Joel Leppard told ABC News' Juju Chang that one of his clients also witnessed Gaetz having sex with a third woman -- who was then 17 years old -- at a house party in Florida.

"She testified [that] in July of 2017, at this house party, she was walking out to the pool area, and she looked to her right, and she saw Rep. Gaetz having sex with her friend, who was 17," Leppard said.

Leppard, who has called for the House Ethics Committee to release its report amid Gaetz's nomination to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general, told ABC News that the former congressman paid both of his clients for sex using Venmo.

"Just to be clear, both of your clients testified that they were paid by Rep. Gaetz to have sex?" Chang asked Leppard.

"That's correct. The House was very clear about that and went through each. They essentially put the Venmo payments on the screen and asked about them. And my clients repeatedly testified, 'What was this payment for?'

'That was for sex,'" Leppard said."

This might kill the nomination from Trump's pov.... actually paying a contractor?

No way!!

Yawn. Gaetz could still get approved. He's just too Horn Dog for some.

This should be disqualifying but will it be?

That's the Conundrum.

Trump's staying power makes me think Gaetz has a shot.

Does he have the Don's Mojo?

Inquiring Minds want to Know.
