The attorney for two women accusing former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz with paying them for sex told Newsweek that his clients do not want to testify during the Senate's confirmation process.

Florida attorney Joel Leppard told Newsweek that his clients have already testified in front of the House Ethics Committee and that they are not looking to do so more publicly in front of the Senate during Gaetz's confirmation process. The former representative was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to become Attorney General. Leppard said his clients will only testify "if they are required to do so."

"They do not want to testify on the floor. They do not want their identities to be known," Leppard said. "They want to move on with their lives and for the American public to make the decision."

So...no first-account 'witnesses' to testify?

[Rastus]

“They want to move on with their lives and for the American public to make the decision.”

Cool. We decided Nov. 5.

[rod5591]

frauds. They are afraid of the scrutiny because they realize the real truth will come out.

[Zathras]

“The attorney for two women...”
Let me guess, the ambulance chaser from LA.

The attorney for two women accusing former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz with paying them for sex...

This from the clowns who want to legalize prostitution.

[for-q-clinton]

They don’t want to lie under oath.

" . . . . and for the American public to make the decision."

YOU get to think through all the data in order for YOU to make a qualified decision (will not testify) . . . . but we DON'T ?

That's not how this works sweeties.

"So...no first-account 'witnesses' to testify?"

So we won't be hearing about a pubic hair on a can of Coke?

[House Atreides]

Hell, DemocRATS can call up Christine Blasey Ford to testify. She can claim that she was sexually assaulted by Gaetz… she just can’t remember specifically where or when.

[hinckley buzzard]

Although paying for sex with escorts is seedy, it isn’t a crime and I suspect there are a huge number of congressmen who do the same thing. This is a deflating balloon.

tag line

[Hot Tabasco]

False accusations of Matt Gaetz to thwart his nomination for US AG, or known philandering of previous AG Bobby Kennedy and his bro Johnny, both of whom were boinking Marilyn Monroe?

Expert witness of the scumbag Kennedy clan, Mary Jo Kopechne, was unavailable for comment.

[ComputerGuy]

They have a point, given the seriousness of the charges.

[Hot Tabasco]

I think they already have.....

his clients have already testified in front of the House Ethics Committee

[The Unknown Republican]

If they will not appear under oath, any unsworn testimony or “reports” should not be considered whatsoever.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Yeah, that’s crap. If they don’t want to testify, fine, but then that isn’t fair to use it against Gaetz.

[Timmy]

They wish to avoid cross examination.

[joshua c]
