DOJ Gaetz Investigation: Three Years of Alleged Payments, No Charges Filed
A leaked Justice Department document details a network of payments allegedly made by former Congressman Matt Gaetz and associates to individuals involved in drug-fueled sex parties between 2017 and 2020. The diagram, obtained by the New York Times, charts thousands of dollars in Venmo transactions, implicating Gaetz in payments to at least two women who testified to receiving money for sex. Though Gaetz denies all accusations, and was never charged, the House Ethics Committee’s investigation was stalled by his short-lived attorney general nomination. The document’s authenticity is disputed, with Trump’s team claiming a classified leak, a claim the New York Times refutes.
