Rep.Ā Matt GaetzĀ was at a 2017 party with a 17-year-old girl at the heart of anĀ alleged sex trafficking scandal, according to legal documents filed Thursday.

The filings cite affidavits based on three witness testimoniesā€”which remain sealedā€”which put the Florida congressman at the party, according toĀ Notus. One witness cited by the filings says the girl, a high school junior, was naked and said people were there to ā€œengage in sexual activitiesā€ while drugs including cocaine and ecstasy were present.

The documents were filed by lawyers trying to recoup legal fees in a lawsuit filed byĀ Chris Dorworthā€”a lobbyist friend of Gaetzā€™s who hosted the alleged party at his Florida home.

      Some do.

      I donā€™t think many really like Gaetz much. I think itā€™s more like the other person said - they just dont give a shit. They either ignore - or choose to ignore or dismiss - this shit, or they just have absolutely no goddamn morals. At all. That last one has been gut-wrenchingly true.
