Letters to the Editor: Remember when Trump picked Matt Gaetz to be attorney general?

LA Times  

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida attends the New York Young Republican Club’s annual gala on Dec. 15. To the editor: Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who had been President-elect Donald Trump’s first choice to be attorney general, has been accused by the House Ethics Committee of “regularly” paying for sex, including with a 17-year-old girl, and illegal drug use. To the editor: Step One: The House Ethics Committee releases its report based on nearly four years of investigation into facts surrounding Gaetz. To the editor: If Gaetz can afford to pay thousands of dollars for sex and drugs on his congressional salary — as the House Ethics Committee report alleges — maybe the president-elect’s Department of Government Efficiency should be considering a pay cut for members of Congress.
