Senate requests FBI evidence in Matt Gaetz sex trafficking investigation
cnbc.com —
The Senate Judiciary Committee has requested the FBI's complete evidence file on Rep. Matt Gaetz related to a past investigation into alleged sex trafficking of an underage girl. This comes as Gaetz is nominated for U.S. attorney general by President-elect Donald Trump. The committee's letter highlights the serious nature of the allegations against Gaetz, emphasizing their relevance to his potential role as the chief law enforcement officer. Gaetz's associate, Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty to sex trafficking in 2021. The Department of Justice closed its investigation into Gaetz last year without filing charges. Gaetz, who recently left his House seat, has denied any wrongdoing.
