We can place Matt Gaetz in a hotel room snorting cocaine with an escort, according to two sources.

A source also says Joel Greenberg will testify that she’s one of 15+ women that Gaetz paid for sex.

When Rep. Matt Gaetz attended a 2019 GOP fundraiser in Orlando, his date that night was someone he knew well: a paid escort and amateur Instagram model who led a cocaine-fueled party after the event, according to two witnesses.

The Florida congressman’s one-time wingman, Joel Greenberg, will identify that escort to investigators as one of more than 15 young women Gaetz paid for sex, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

But what distinguishes this woman, Megan Zalonka, is that she turned her relationship with Greenberg into a taxpayer-funded no-show job that earned her an estimated $7,000 to $17,500, according to three sources and corresponding government records obtained by The Daily Beast.

On Oct. 26, 2019, Gaetz attended the “Trump Defender Gala” fundraiser as the featured speaker at the Westgate Lake Resort in Orlando. Two witnesses present recalled friends reconvening at Gaetz’s hotel room for an after-party, where Zalonka prepared lines of cocaine on the bathroom counter. One of those witnesses distinctly remembers Zalonka pulling the drugs out of her makeup bag, rolling a bill of cash, and joining Gaetz in snorting the cocaine.

8. That Matthew Gertz is funny.

[SoCalDavidS]

4. Big Deal

I assure you that's nowhere near good enough to bring charges, let alone get him out of Congress.

Sure, it's not a great look, but big deal. repubs do shit worse than this without suffering ANY consequences.

Hopefully there's more.

[secondwind]

7. I agree. If these women were all over the age of 18,

it will not mean much.

[Irish_Dem]

24. I thought cocaine was illegal?

[gldstwmn]

27. And prostitution

[Irish_Dem]

28. I guess it is OK if you are a GOP member of congress.

[speak easy]

5. Meanwhile, Don Jr. skates.

How much taxpayer money paid for the coke and Kimberly Guilfoyle's 'lapdances'.

[Lovie777]

6. republican congresscritters are seriously fucked up . . .

That Green lady is obsess with AOC, the one that took Cheney's place is dumb as shit, and that lady from OR is wacked and the republican men are wacko as hell, they all should be in criminal insane asylum.

Mental illness runs strong in both republican house and senate.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

11. mentally ill people are kind decent people for the most part.

They are likely to be victimized by bad people. Republicans are bad people,abusive,callous,exploiting, mean and criminal because its who they are.
I know people will disagree ,But being a bad person is not mental illness. Its not mental illness because mental illness can be helped with meds and therapy. Being a bad person is who republicans are and it cannot be changed because they choose to be bad people.And our fucked up society too often rewards bad people for being bad..

[kcr]

14. I don't disagree. You are speaking truth.

There is more awareness these days, but still, the stigma is there. I think most people aren't even aware or conscious they are doing it.

[Thtwudbeme]

9. I would be shocked if that's not where he is right now

This guy is trying to relive 1978 for some reason. He's a kook.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. just coke and hookers....well, no problem then.

[dchill]

22. I know, right? It's like their trying to make him average!

[Baked Potato]

12. A little more of Gaetz and his shenanigans

[spanone]

13. ...as slimy as they come.

[d_r]

15. spending the rubes' fund raising money

on coke and hookers. Sounds about right for gop.

ETA wait a second, sounds like big boss trump at studio 54 in the 80s

[LonePirate]

16. As long as the escort was 18 or older, I don't care if he paid her or if they did drugs.

Americans needs to stop clutching their pearls about consensual sex work and drug use in this country among legal age adults.

He's a piece of human garbage but this story is a nothingburger in my opinion.

[d_r]

17. its the hypocrisy

one hopes that the idiots who give them the money that they burn through will wake up to how they are being suckered. They won't of course.

[Nevilledog]

20. Escort also had a "no-show" government job.

"But what distinguishes this woman, Megan Zalonka, is that she turned her relationship with Greenberg into a taxpayer-funded no-show job that earned her an estimated $7,000 to $17,500, according to three sources and corresponding government records obtained by The Daily Beast."

[Irish_Dem]

25. Hypocrisy and possible use of government funds.

The GOP is always preaching morality and passing laws to control others.
But they don't follow their own dictates.

And if the drugs and sex workers were paid with donor or government funds.

[bottomofthehill]

18. It's ok

Gaetz is a Republican and Coke is a white persons drug, the hooker was blond. No harm no foul.. nothing to see here

[Rustyeye77]

19. Gaetz did NOSE CANDY ?

How did his please the escort on coke?

[speaknow]

21. Who cares! He's a repuke so he is allowed

to do and get away with anything he wants.

[WarGamer]

23. Where'd Matt get the cash?

I don't really care about the partying and women... (as long as they're consenting adults)

I'm more curious who was passing Matt brown paper bags of cash.

[OnDoutside]

29. Daddy's rich

[Silent3]

26. "in a hotel room snorting cocaine with an escort" is probably just another Tuesday for Gaetz

The only difference here is someone willing to collaborate a particular incident.

[Blue Owl]

30. Matt "Hookers and Blow" Gaetz
