Congressman Matt Gaetz Denies Having Affair With a 17-Year-Old

Congressman Matt Gaetz is denying allegations that he was involved in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl, going so far as to say he and his family are “victims of an organized criminal extortion,” in what even Tucker Carlson called “one of the weirdest interviews I’ve ever conducted.” It followed a bombshell New York Times story, which claimed investigators are looking at whether Gaetz violated sex trafficking laws by paying for flights and hotels for the teen to travel with him.
