A hacker gained access to witness testimony related to investigations into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who resigned from Congress last week after President-elect Trump tapped him for attorney general, multiple news outlets reported Tuesday.
The unidentified person, using the name “Altam Beezley,” downloaded the information on Monday afternoon, according to The New York Times, which was the first to report on the breach.
The file contained 24 exhibits and is said to include testimony from a woman who said she had sex with Gaetz when she was 17, and testimony from another woman who said she witnessed the encounter, according to The Times.
The Times and CBS News reported that the file is part of a civil defamation case. The Times also reported it includes sealed files from the Justice Department and House Ethics Committee.
The materials do not appear to have been made public. Interest in the files may be at an all-time high, given Gaetz’s looming confirmation process.
The Ethics Committee has been investigating Gaetz for years over allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, among other claims. Gaetz, whom the Justice Department declined to charge after investigating the same matters, has vigorously denied wrongdoing.
Right. More like handed to him wrapped in a bow by Democrats.
It has to be an inside job. Has to be.
Most definitely leaked, on purpose, for MSM headline formation. Standard deep state/leftist operating procedure.
The good thing is, the MSM’s reputation is lower than dirt, and average Americans are on to this ridiculous game
If there was anything of consequence there it would have been out already.
Unless criminal charges are actually brought, there is no there, there.
And if they are brought, we need a LOT more information. You would think they would have learned with Kavanaugh.
Can someone hack into the secret fund in Congress to pay sexual abuse claims?
a hacker who will never be found
he’s hanging out with the pipebomber
If there was anything to this the FBLie would have been on Gaetz like a duck on a June bug.
SURE “a hacker” did this.
That’s probably more secure than all the files in the Pentagon.
Of course it was. The leaker needs to be GITMO'd.
How about slime merchants stop lying by omission and report the whole story.
Innocent until proven guilt is not a suggestion.

The Justice Department is ending its sex trafficking investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., without charging him with any crimes, his attorneys and congressional office said.
Prosecutors had spent months investigating Gaetz’s personal conduct and, specifically, allegations that he was part of a scheme that led to the sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl. At the core of their investigation was testimony from a former Gaetz associate, Joel Greenberg, who worked as a Florida tax collector.
The attorneys briefed about aspects of the case said the probe stalled over concerns about the credibility of two key witnesses or a lack of direct evidence implicating Gaetz, who has denied all wrongdoing.
aka list of suspects
Unlike Hunter Thompson’s laptop for years.
As remote and unavailable as on the Oort Cloud beyond Pluto.
Hunter Biden’s laptop.
“Right. More like handed to him wrapped in a bow by Democrats.”
Right. I’m so sorry. I had no idea, no idea, that email was phishing. I clicked on the link and the hacker got the files I was guarding with my life!
My guess is a leaker...
This was already investigated and the conclusion reached about the so called witness and victim was “LIARS!”.
