A new report from the New York Times alleges “federal investigators established a trail of payments from Matt Gaetz,” President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general, “to women including some who testified that Mr. Gaetz hired them for sex.” According to the Times, the chart they obtained ”shows a web of thousands of dollars in Venmo payments between Mr. Gaetz and a group of his friends, associates, and women who had drug-fueled sex parties between 2017 and 2020.” Gaetz denies any wrongdoing since these allegations surfaced.

There’s new reporting tonight about Matt Gaetz, President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general.

Love listening to it every morning. BUT the audio only available on the left side of the earphone for some of the news (last week Sunday). This makes it very difficult to listen to the news.
