Federal inquiry reveals payments linked to Matt Gaetz and sex parties

A federal inquiry into Matt Gaetz has revealed a chart detailing thousands of dollars in Venmo payments linked to drug-fueled sex parties from 2017 to 2020. The payments involve Gaetz, his associates, and women, including a 17-year-old girl. The document supports claims from two women who allege they were paid for sex by Gaetz. Their lawyer confirmed they received payments totaling over $7,000, with individual encounters costing between $200 and $500. The House ethics committee obtained the chart during its investigation into Gaetz's conduct. Although the Justice Department closed its investigation without charges, the committee continues to seek information related to Gaetz's activities.
