A Justice Department investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and an indicted Florida politician is focusing on their involvement with multiple women who were recruited online for sex and received cash payments, the New York Times reports.

“Investigators believe Joel Greenberg, the former tax collector in Seminole County, Fla., who was indicted last year on a federal sex trafficking charge and other crimes, initially met the women through websites that connect people who go on dates in exchange for gifts, fine dining, travel and allowances… Mr. Greenberg introduced the women to Mr. Gaetz, who also had sex with them.”

“One of the women who had sex with both men also agreed to have sex with an unidentified associate of theirs in Florida Republican politics.”

“Rep. Matt Gaetz, the Florida Republican being investigated by the Justice Department over sex trafficking allegations, made a name for himself when he arrived on Capitol Hill as a conservative firebrand on TV and staunch defender of then-President Donald Trump. Behind the scenes, Gaetz gained a reputation in Congress over his relationships with women and bragging about his sexual escapades to his colleagues,” CNN reports.

“Gaetz allegedly showed off to other lawmakers photos and videos of nude women he said he had slept with, including while on the House floor.”

The Justice Department investigation of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and allegations of sex trafficking also includes whether campaign funds were used to pay for travel and expenses, CNN reports.

House Republicans are pressing the Justice Department for a “confidential briefing” on Democratic allegations that some GOP lawmakers provided “suspicious” tours to possible rioters in the days before the January 6 attack on Congress, Politico reports.
