Matt Gaetz here to discuss the allegations of underage sex trafficking one year later. Whoever was responsible for the allegation was more into convincing the court of public opinion than any court of law, and it worked on some people. The accuser pled guilty to a shakedown operation against Gaetz.

The bias against believing innocent people exist in federal elected office is understandable, however. There's also the (not entirely accurate) argument that if you're accused of doing something wrong, especially gravely wrong, you must have done something to warrant the accusation, if not the exact thing you're being accused of.
