A defiant U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz said in an op-ed article published Monday that he’s “not a criminal” and is “absolutely not resigning” despite an investigation into sex trafficking allegations against him.
“Since I’m taking my turn under the gun, let me address the allegations against me directly. First, I have never, ever paid for sex. And second, I, as an adult man, have not slept with a 17-year-old,” the Florida Republican wrote in the Washington Examiner, where he described himself as the victim of a diverse group of enemies.
