An unidentified hacker accessed copies of confidential testimony in a lawsuit involving allegations of sexual misconduct by Matt Gaetz, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general pick, a lawyer involved in the case said on Tuesday. The lawyer, Joel Leppard, who did not know the identity of the hacker, told Reuters he was informed that an unauthorized person accessed documents, including transcripts of testimony from witnesses in the lawsuit, which was brought by a Gaetz associate. Leppard said he represents two women who told a House panel investigating Gaetz that they were paid for sex with the former Republican congressman and that one of the women witnessed Gaetz having sex with her friend, who was then 17, at a house party in 2017.
