Matt Gaetz
Matt Gaetz is a Republican U.S. congressman from Florida, known for combative far-right politics and unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump.
His name became synonymous with scandal after a federal sex trafficking investigation and a damning House Ethics Committee report alleging sexual misconduct with a minor, illicit drug use, and accepting improper gifts—allegations that derailed his 2024 nomination for Attorney General.
