House Ethics Committee launches investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz

The House Ethics Committee said Friday it launched investigations into Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y.

  • The House Ethics Committee launched an investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz, the embattled Florida Republican who is facing a federal sex-trafficking investigation.
  • "The Committee, pursuant to Committee Rule 18(a), has begun an investigation and will gather additional information regarding the allegations," the panel said in a statement.
  • The Democrat-led ethics panel also said it has begun a probe into Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., citing public allegations of possible sexual misconduct by the congressman.
 
In two late-night Venmo transactions in May 2018, Rep. Matt Gaetz sent his friend, the accused sex trafficker Joel Greenberg, $900. The next morning, over the course of eight minutes, Greenberg used the same app to send three young women varying sums of money. In total, the transactions amounted to $900. The memo field for the first of Gaetz’s transactions to Greenberg was titled “Test.” In the second, the Florida GOP congressman wrote “hit up ___.” But instead of a blank, Gaetz wrote a nickname for one of the recipients. (The Daily Beast is not sharing that nickname because the teenager had only turned 18 less than six months before.) When Greenberg then made his Venmo payments to these three young women, he described the money as being for “Tuition,” “School,” and “School.”

Gaetz and Greenberg are both connected through Venmo to this then 18-year-old woman—who now works in the porn industry, according to a friend of the girl’s.... Greenberg and Gaetz are also connected on Venmo to at least one other woman whom Greenberg paid with taxpayer funds using a government-issued credit card. Seminole County auditors flagged hundreds of those payments as “questioned or unaccounted for,” and in total found more than $300,000 in suspicious or unjustified expenses.... Gaetz and Greenberg share Venmo connections with at least two women who received payments from Greenberg, and both have professional relationships with each other.

Joel Greenberg Timeline: From rising Republican star to federal charges

The one-time rising Republican star now faces 33 federal charges. Here is a timeline showing Greenberg’s steps and possible missteps since he was elected.
www.clickorlando.com www.clickorlando.com

"May - Nov. 2017 – While Greenberg is learning the ropes of his newly elected office, federal authorities allege Greenberg engaged in “commercial sex acts” with a minor older than 14 but younger than 18. They say he allegedly used the state’s driver’s license system (D.A.V.I.D.) to obtain the photograph and license number of the minor victim for sex trafficking purposes. (Ct 2, 4 of 3rd superseding indictment)"

July 8 - 10, 2017 – Shortly thereafter, Greenberg and an advisor head down to Miami to meet with Gaetz, a newly elected Congressman serving on the House Judiciary and Armed Services Committees.

Greenberg spends roughly $917 to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel, according to an expense report obtained by News 6."

October - November 2019 – Greenberg, posing as a “very concerned student,” allegedly sent letters to a school where his political opponent worked claiming the employee had engaged in sexual misconduct, created a fake Twitter account using the name and photo of the political opponent that was then used to express support for white supremacy, and created a fake Facebook page of a “very concerned teacher” that claimed the political opponent was engaged in sexual misconduct with a student. (Ct 24, 25 of 3rd superseding indictment)"

March 30, 2021 – The New York Times reports Gaetz is under investigation by the Dept. of Justice for a possible sexual relationship with an underage girl. The Times reports that federal investigators became interested in Gaetz while they were investigating Greenberg’s case in the Middle District of Florida. Gaetz denies any wrongdoing and claims this investigation was leaked instead to distract from a separate extortion investigation. Gaetz says his family are the victims of the extortion plot and have been cooperating with authorities."

March 31, 2021 – A third superseding indictment is filed against Greenberg. It includes 21 new additional charges in addition to the 12 he was already facing. The new indictment includes more allegations into cryptocurrency fraud and SBA loan fraud."
