Gaetz ex testified against him to federal grand jury
By Caroline Vakil - 01/12/22 02:23 PM EST

A former girlfriend of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) testified before a federal grand jury on Wednesday as part of a sex crimes investigation into the congressman, according to NBC News.

The House Republican is reportedly being investigated for several possible crimes, including obstruction of justice, the sex trafficking of a minor and violating the Mann Act, a federal law barring the transportation of prostitutes between states or countries, legal sources familiar with the investigation told the network.

Gaetz's former girlfriend, who has been in contact with prosecutors, may be providing testimony regarding allegations that the congressman paid a minor to have sex with him in 2017 and he and others violated a federal law that bans people paying for prostitutes overseas, according to NBC.

Her testimony would be given in exchange for avoiding future prosecution for obstruction of justice in connection with the case under a potential deal with prosecutors, per the network.

Last year it was reported that federal prosecutors were looking into whether Gaetz obstructed justice during a phone call a witness in the investigation had with the lawmaker's former girlfriend, during which she allegedly patched Gaetz into the call.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
