Matt Gaetz Subpoenaed in Defamation Lawsuit

March 14, 2024 · 2:58 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) “was served a subpoena to sit for a deposition in a civil lawsuit that involves allegations he had sex with a 17-year old-girl, as part of a suit brought by a friend of the congressman against the young woman and others,” ABC News reports.

“Gaetz was issued the subpoena, which has not been previously reported, by attorneys representing the woman who is now in her 20s and was at the center of a years-long investigation by the Justice Department into allegations that the Florida congressman had sex with her when she was a minor.”
