Good morning.
It's Wednesday, November 20th.
I'm Sumita Basu.
This is Apple News Today.
On today's show, Texas weighs bringing the Bible into public Schools, Trump taps Dr.
Oz to manage healthcare for millions of Americans, and how x lost more than 100,000 users the day after the election.
But first, what we know about the allegations of sexual misconduct against former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who's been tapped by President Elect Trump to become the next head of the Justice Department.
Yesterday, we learned that an unidentified hacker got access to documents shared among lawyers whose client said in sworn testimony that Gates paid her for sex when she was 17 years old.
Also in the documents is testimony by a second woman corroborating that story, saying she witnessed it.
Gates has denied having sex with anyone underage or paying for sex.
The documents include other information, too, that's under seal with both the DOJ and the House Ethics Committee, whose members are scheduled to meet today to decide whether to release their findings ahead of a Senate confirmation hearing for Gaetz.
Washington Post reporter Liz Goodwin spoke to us from Capitol Hill.
Republicans have been under a lot of pressure from Trump supporters and activists not to release it, given it's expected to be pretty damaging to Matt Gaetz.
The committee is evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, so it would take at least one Republican voting to release it.
