Matt Gaetz has been accused of a great deal of inappropriate behavior, and Donald Trump knows what Gaetz is guilty of, according to Trump's niece.
Mary Trump, a trained psychologist, said on Thursday that, "Sex offenders have to look out for each other." While Trump was found liable for sexual assault, Gaetz has never been convicted or even faced charges related to his alleged conduct.
"Donald's pick for Attorney General, now-former Congressman Matt Gaetz has faced dual investigations over the last three years—one conducted by the Department of Justice, and the other by the House Ethics Committee," Mary Trump wrote. "The probes stemmed from allegations of sex trafficking allegations a minor and paid sexual relationships as well as Gaetz’s alleged drug use, his doing special favors to associates, and obstructing investigations."

Despite the ethics committee failing to release the report on Gaetz, Mary Trump points to leaks to talk about the details, and suggests it's an open secret on the Hill.
"Depositions from two other women allege Gaetz paid for sex via Venmo, and a full chart outlining some of the Venmo transactions can be found in Exhibit Six of the Ethics Committee report. Gaetz also made payments by check which were made out to cash with 'tuition reimbursement' written on the memo line," she wrote. "There's no doubt in my mind that Republicans, including and especially my uncle, know exactly what Gaetz has done. Many have said as much to the press, including Markwayne Mullin (R-OK)."
Mary Trump goes on to discuss the "atypical" deliberations within the ethics committee, and adds, "There's a point at which none of this matters, except perhaps as an indication of just how far Republicans are willing to go to protect Matt Gaetz, a viciously corrupt man whom most of them hate, all for the sake of doing Donald Trump's bidding."
She continued:
"We have the hacked document; we have Republicans going on the record to call Matt Gaetz out; we have the potentially imminent release of the report. Yet it all may be irrelevant. We had all of the information we needed about Donald Trump—we knew he was an adjudicated rapist; we knew he was an adjudicated business fraud; we knew he incited an insurrection and stole government documents; we knew he was convicted on 34 felony accounts. None of it mattered."
