The key figure in a Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations involving Matt Gaetz told the House Ethics Committee that the former congressman had sex with her when she was 17 years old, according to a report.
The woman, who is now in her 20s, was subpoenaed by the ethics panel over the summer and testified that Gaetz had sex with her when she was a minor and still in high school, ABC News reported on Thursday.
The Florida Republican vehemently denied the allegations.
“These allegations are invented and would constitute false testimony to Congress,” Gaetz said in a statement provided to The Post. “This false smear following a three-year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism.”
DOJ informed Gaetz last year that it would not bring charges against him related to the probe, but the House Ethics Committee has been running a separate investigation into the former congressman, who abruptly resigned from Congress Wednesday after being nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as attorney general.
*** The ethics committee was reportedly set to vote Friday on whether to release its findings in the Gaetz probe, according to Punchbowl News.
Sources told ABC News that the ethics panel conducted interviews with at least six women who allegedly partied with Gaetz and were paid by his former friend, Joel Greenberg.
Greenberg, a former local tax official in Florida, pleaded guilty to multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking, in May of 2021.
As part of the plea deal, Greenberg admitted that he recruited women for commercial sex acts and paid them more than $70,000 from 2016 to 2018, including at least one underage girl – who was the woman who told the ethics panel that Gaetz had sex with her as a minor, ABC News reported. ***

My first guess is: “For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”
Funny how the “Ethics” Committee has nothing to say about a congressman sleeping with a Chinese spy.
A matter that no one disputes is true.
Right. We PAY pervs and Matt scares the bejeebers out of them. Why is this a surprise to anyone. It’s not rocket science.
OMG I'm so bad.... I LOL'ed at that for a minute.... :-)
A girl had sex with me when I just turned 17. She was 20 and a bank teller, had her own apartment. Should I make a complaint now and get her arrested? She would be in her late 70s now. She recently reached out to me after not hearing about her since I was in high school. I haven’t responded, and won’t because I don’t want my wife to hear of this. (All true.)
What’s in the past should stay in the past. If you’re a young teen boy watch out for bank tellers! Another bank teller invited me over to her apartment on a weekend, when she answered the door she had on a skimpy bikini. I managed to get out of there without anything happening. It’s not just guys coming on to the opposite sex!
You have a type. Banker girl. Cool. I never thought of that. Damn!
Good question 😀
>Yet he was never charged with anything
Not only that - but if there was any way in Hell that the Garland DOJ *could* have charged him, they would have. Yet they dropped their investigation because they had nothing.
As proof of that first I offer this fun little vid clip

>> The swamp desperation is real.
Yep, and the Trump strategy is real too.
There’s gonna be a real conflict. I’m really looking forward to it! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!
“Sources told ABC News”
Such is the state of reporting these days.
This is made up junk by someone who hates Gaetz.
If they had something like EVIDENCE, this would have been SCREAMED FROM THE HOUSETOPS.
B/S
Frankly, my dears, I do not give a d$&#.
>> This crap’s gotta stop.
It only stops when We The People step in and stop it.
We The People made a Giant Step For Mankind on 11/5.
The President we elected is stepping up bigly.
Pray * Vote * ENGAGE
Girls think like women, in many ways, at 16...or even younger. Certainly by 16. Fact of life.
>> are accusations all that’s needing in America now?
Sure, as long as they’re sufficiently SERIOUS accusations, and the accused is a conservative and/or Republican.
Been that way for a couple decades. You didn’t get the memo? :-)
>> These are McCarthy’s RINO’s still angry at Gaetz.
Oh, yeah, this is the DemonRats sitting back eating popcorn and watching while the RINO trash savage Gaetz.
I hate that corrupt sack of RINO trash but the unvarnished truth is, We The People through laziness and inattention put them there.
17? Age of consent in Washington state and many other states is 16! This is madness.
When do they accuse him of being a Russian spy?
Put her under oath and let her make them. You can set your watch on the times these come out.
Let’s not forget Anthony Weiners laptop.
