Damaging testimony about former Republican congressman Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. attorney general, was accessed by an unidentified hacker, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
The hacker, using the alias Altam Beezley, downloaded a computer file Monday that contained sworn testimony from a woman who said she had sex with Gaetz in 2017 when she was 17, according to the report. One of the 24 leaked exhibits also contained corroborating testimony from a second woman who said she witnessed the encounter, according to the Times.
