Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) reportedly sent payments to multiple women recruited for sex through cash apps.
According to a New York Times report, the Department of Justice investigation has evidence of payments from receipts on mobile payment apps and text messages.
The Times reported that the DOJ’s probe into Gaetz also involves a man named Joel Greenberg, who is a former Seminole County, Fla., tax collector. Greenberg allegedly picked up women online through dating websites that promoted dates in exchange for gifts and travel. He allegedly vetted the women and then introduced them to Gaetz.
The investigation uncovered messages and interviews in which Greenberg and Gaetz directed the women to meet them at specific times and locations and spelled out the amount of money the women would receive. Sources familiar with the matter told the Times that ecstasy would sometimes be consumed during these “dates.”
A series of mobile payment receipts reviewed by The Times showed money from Gaetz and Greenberg being sent to one woman, who told her friends it was for having sex with both men. Another person interviewed by the Times said the men would sometimes use hotel ATMs to pay the women in cash for their services.
CNN reported yesterday that lawmakers have said Gaetz bragged about his sexual conquests on the House floor and showed photos of nude women to other lawmakers he claimed to have had sex with.
