Republican senators are raising questions about President-elect Trump's pick for attorney general.The House Ethics Committee was expected to vote Wednesday on whether to release details from its investigation into former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz who recently resigned from Congress after being nominated for attorney general.
An attorney for two women says they told the Ethics Committee that Gaetz paid them for sex, and one of them alleged she saw Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old minor. Now, new allegations are surfacing of 27 Venmo payments from Gaetz to the women. The attorney says some of that money was for sex.
Gaetz denies all charges and notes that a Justice Department investigation resulted in no charges against him.
GOP senators say this will all come out at the confirmation hearings. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said, "The reality is all that information is going to be on display at the hearing. Think Brett Kavanaugh."
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) added, "I think if they want a speedy consideration of this nomination, there is -- we've got to have as much transparency as we can have."
