Congressman Matt Gaetz to speak at conservative women's summit amid federal investigation into sex trafficking allegations
CBSN
About one week after it was reported that the Justice Department is investigating Congressman Matt Gaetz for allegedly violated federal sex trafficking laws, the Florida Republican is set to be a keynote speaker at a conservative women's event at the Trump National Doral resort.
Gaetz denies allegations that he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and paid for her to travel. A separate CNN report also claims he showed other lawmakers photos and videos of nude women, including while on the House floor. Despite calls from numerous lawmakers for Gaetz to resign or be removed from the Judiciary Committee, the 38-year-old wrote in an op-ed in the Washington Examiner on Monday that he is "absolutely not resigning."Pennsylvania was a pivotal state in the 2020 presidential election, sealing Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump after four days of vote counting. So it's no surprise the Keystone State is again front and center this election cycle, with both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump investing time and resources there ahead of Election Day.
