David McGee, an attorney with Beggs & Lane, is the man the Florida Republican named during an appearance Tuesday evening on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show in which he responded to reports that he is under federal investigation over a former relationship.
McGee served for six years as the first assistant at the U.S. Attorney’s Office and for seven years as the lead attorney for a Justice Department's Organized Crime Task Force, according to his biography on the website of his law firm, which is based in Pensacola, Florida.

The New York Times reported Gaetz, 38, is being looked at as part of a broader investigation into local Florida official Joel Greenberg, a political ally who was indicted last summer on an array of charges, including sex trafficking of a minor and financially supporting people in exchange for sex, at least one of whom was an underage girl.
Investigators are said to be examining whether Gaetz had a sexual relationship two years ago with a girl believed to have been 17 at the time and paid her to travel with him. Specifically authorities are trying to determine whether he violated federal sex trafficking laws.
Gaetz told Carlson that the FBI, alongside the Department of Justice, had his father wear a wire to eavesdrop on conversations between him and McGee, who the lawmaker alleged was trying to receive $25 million in exchange for making the allegations disappear. The Florida Republican said his father was set to catch McGee on Wednesday in the act demanding "4.5 million" as a "down payment" on the "bribe," adding further that the New York Times leak hampered the investigation.

Weaponized DOJ bump.
Geez, you fell for it.
You didnt see the interview.youve got the story facts mixed up.
If his dad wore a wire for the FBI..gaetz.said theyshould release the tape..Absolutely.
Why dont you rush to judgement over at the DU!
Yup..a visitor from the DU
He went after Liz Cheney, He is a marked man.
Democrats circle the wagons whenever accusations are made. Conservatives bring on the circular firing squad.
Threadly reminder that Gaetz was given the Hunter Biden harddrive last year and did NOTHING with it. Also it’s “America First” to call Biden a legitimate president.

Except I haven’t seen Matt on War Room in awhile, have you?
Thanks! I was going to tell him something to this troll that would get me banned
And his father is friends with Pres. Trump.
EXACTLY..so sick of conservatives who even attack with no grounds
Ted Stevens, Eric Greitens, just sayin’, oh, and let’s not forget Donald Trump.
Right. I've been here since 1998 "trolling." /sarc
I'm simply pointing out that he made these two statements back to back tonight on Tucker Carlson's show. In doing so he raised suspicions. Perhaps it was poor wording on his part, perhaps he didn't think through what he was saying. Perhaps something else. Who the hell knows. I learned how to parse sentences under the William Jefferson Blythe Clinton ("Slick Willie") Administration to determine when someone is or isn't telling the full truth. My opinion: Gaetz isn't telling the full truth.
Whether...believed
They have nothing.
Just wait. The surrender caucus wing of the GOP will turn Gaetz into Roy Moore before this is done. Gaetz is a fighter. That makes them very uncomfortable because that exposes their weakness and duplicity in Democrat crimes.
So Gaetz provided flights and hotel rooms for a 17 year old he wasn’t “dating”? I’m sorry, this stinks to high heaven. Gaetz is hiding something. He’s not telling the full truth.
What stinks is the “French” cheese in the room. They don’t call the GOP the surrender party for nothing.
