We think it’s safe to say Rep. Matt Gaetz has not been having a great week. In fact, it’s been a pretty terrible one for the antigay lawmaker from Florida.On Tuesday, the New York Times reported that the Department of Justice is currently investigating whether he “had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and paid for her to travel with him.”Gaetz, of course, denies everything and says he’s the victim of a $25 million extortion scheme possibly being led by someone inside the Biden White House.
Or something.Over the past several weeks my family and I have been victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DOJ official seeking $25 million while threatening to smear my name.We have been cooperating with federal authorities.
