Former Rep. Matt Gaetz said Wednesday that he had sent money to his girlfriends, and that he "probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have" when he was younger.
Gaetz, who was President-elect Donald Trump's first choice as the next U.S. attorney general, made the comments on social media minutes after multiple news outlets reported that the House Ethics Committee would make public a report of its long-running probe into allegations the former Congressman engaged in sexual impropriety and drug use.
"In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated − even some I never dated but who asked," Gaetz wrote. "I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court − which is why no such claim was ever made in court."
