Donald Trump's Nominee to lead the DOJ, Matt Gaetz who is being investigated by the Ethics committee for sex trafficking, resigned from Congress Wednesday. Gaetz resigned just two days before a potentially damning report was set to be released by the Ethics Committee.
His resignation also follows Donald Trump's nomination to lead the DOJ, the agency that has been investigating his involvement in a sex trafficking ring in Florida.
The congressional committee investigating Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, reportedly interviewed a woman who said Gaetz had sex with her when she was a 17-year-old high school student, according to ABC News.Convicted fraudster Joel Greenberg, who cooperated extensively with the Justice Department’s sex-trafficking probe into GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, was sentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison by a federal judge in Florida, CNN Reports.
Greenberg, a former Seminole County tax collector, previously pleaded guilty to underage sex trafficking, wire fraud, stalking, identity theft, producing a fake ID card, and conspiring to defraud the US government. He has been in jail since early 2021 and will get some credit for time served.
As part of his plea deal, Greenberg provided information to investigators about Gaetz related to the sex-trafficking probe, a source familiar with the case previously told CNN. Women who attended parties with Greenberg and Gaetz previously told CNN that they participated in sex parties near Orlando that featured local political figures, young women, Venmo payments, alcohol, and drugs.
