An unknown person gained access to documents from a legal case that included depositions from a woman who said former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)—President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general—had sexual relations with her when she was 17, according to a lawyer involved in the litigation.
Attorneys involved in the civil case brought by a Gaetz associate were notified of the unauthorized access this week. according to attorney Joel Leppard, who represented a client involved in the case. The files, which had been shared between lawyers, included unredacted depositions from both the woman and a second woman who claimed she saw the alleged encounter.
