Rep. Matt Gaetz’s father has backed up his claim that he was extorted over claims he slept with a 17-year-old and says he wore a wire to try help his son expose it.
Yesterday it emerged that Gaetz is under investigation by the Department of Justice over claims that he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and paid her to travel with him.
The New York Times first reported it, citing three unnamed sources who said the alleged relationship happened two years ago.
