Donald Trump and his allies have, thus far, stayed quiet about the allegations surrounding Matt Gaetz, failing to come to the embattled Republican lawmaker's defense.
And their silence is deafening as Gaetz struggles to save his political career amid a string of lurid allegations, including claims he was involved in a Harry Potter-themed sex game, paid for sex using Apple Pay and showed Congressional colleagues on the House floor photos of naked women.
Gaetz was one of Trump's top allies on Capitol Hill, vigorously defending the former president during his first impeachment trial from his perch on the House Judiciary Committee.
Trump, who has not been shy about blasting out statements on an array of matters, has yet to send one out on Gaetz. And a spokesman for the former president didn't respond to DailyMail.com's inquiries.
