Friend of Matt Gaetz seeks to destroy records of alleged drug-fueled sex party with underage girl

thedailybeast.com

Chris Dorworth, a close friend of Matt Gaetz, has asked a court to destroy records related to a drug-fueled sex party involving an underage girl, where Gaetz was allegedly present. Dorworth filed motions to keep the records confidential and to expunge them from the judicial record. The records are linked to a defamation suit Dorworth previously filed against Joel Greenberg, a former associate of Gaetz now in prison for sex trafficking. Dorworth dropped the suit, but the records include witness statements about the party. Gaetz recently resigned from Congress after Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate him as attorney general. This resignation occurred just before a House Ethics Committee report on Gaetz's alleged misconduct was set to be released. Gaetz has denied all allegations against him.
