Summary

A hacker accessed a file containing damaging testimony about former Congressman Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general pick.

The file includes sworn statements from a woman alleging she had sex with Gaetz in 2017 when she was 17, corroborating testimony from a witness, and other evidence from a civil suit involving Gaetz ally Christopher Dorworth.

The hacked materials, which remain unpublished, also include unredacted personal information of witnesses and evidence tied to federal and congressional investigations.

The hacker’s motive remains unknown.

    If they had it, they’d release it. There’s no extortion to be had here, no reason to delay. The only reason to have gotten it would be to release it. That they haven’t- pretty much means they haven’t got anything.

      Well it has all the info to completely dox anyone who testified against the attorney child rapist general. Magas would literally kill them where they sleep.

        Exactly.

        If the attacker stole the file with the intent to publish information against Gaetz in order to harm him, they’d need to redact anything that could allow for attacks against those testifying before releasing it.
