Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz published an opinion piece in the Washington Examiner defending himself on Monday, where he states that he is not a criminal and that he would not be resigning from public office.
Gaetz calls the sexual misconduct accusations against him "lies" with "exactly zero credible (or even non-credible) accusers willing to come forward by name and state on the public record that I behaved improperly toward them, in the manner by which Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo has ten accusers."

He goes on to blast media outlets such as CNN, The New York Times, and Politico for "repeating false allegations about" him, defending himself against accusations that he never slept with a 17-year-old.
"The Biden Justice Department would rather investigate me for adult, consensual sex than Hunter Biden for his shady business dealings, than others for illegal leaks, or a former Justice Department official for the evident extortion of a congressman. Go figure," he writes.
Gaetz has been accused by investigators of paying an underaged woman to cross state lines for sex through things such as "hotel stays, meals, and other gifts."
Washington Examiner has previously released emails from a US attorneys confirming the FBI was looking into this situation, overall.
