MIAMI (AP) U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida eloped to Southern California, marrying his girlfriend Ginger Luckey on Saturday in a small ceremony on Catalina Island.
The controversial 39-year-old Republican, who is under investigation as part of a sex trafficking probe, announced the wedding on his personal Twitter page. He exclaimed I love my wife! along with a photo of them together he in a sport coat, she in a white dress.
Vanity Fair reports that Sergio Gor, a former staffer for Sen. Rand Paul, performed the ceremony that was attended by about 40 people. The couple had previously announced they would marry next year.
Gaetz had been in Iowa on Thursday with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, speaking at a rally that is part of a national tour where they falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump and downplay the COVID-19 pandemic.

We, in the Florida Panhandle (Gaetz's district) have a running thread in local newspapers "Where is our Congressman today?" . He is noticeably absent from his district.

Lot of arm chair lawyers spreading misinformation on DU on this subject.

(9,998 posts)His lack of interest in his constituents is EXACTLY THE SAME as TFG's lack of interest in his Cult Followers, and he almost got enough of their votes to be re-elected.

I doubt he'll even be charged.

End of story.

(1,666 posts)Like at what timeframe do those type of actions allow a court to throw signed legal agreements out?
Like if you knew you were going to do something that would open you to civil litigation, so you sell everything you own, including your cash to someone trusted for say $1 and have lawyers draw it all up.
Considering there were no court orders against you not to do that (and this could go for evidence destroying as well), since you had not done anything that would get a courts attention yet
.at what point does a court have a legal authority to void the signed and notarized deal?

(62,532 posts)remember the singing group Captain and Tennille? or the lead singer of the rock band The Cars: Rick Ocasek?
They both C&T and Ocasek and his wife divorced because of medical bills. Basically, the captain, signed over everything to Tennile to prevent creditors from completely bankrupting him due to medical bills. Then he divorced Tennille. The captain now was of zero monetary worth. the creditors couldn't get a thing.
Same thing happened with Ocasek. Medical bills.
gaetz will do the same thing. because, the women he abused will try for a civil suit, but they won't get a thing, because he will be of zero net worth. but also, his new wife will equally a shit for potentially agreeing to do this. what would be amazing is if she had a sudden realization of empathy and character refused to having his assets signed over to her.

(9,961 posts)... Ginger Luckey? Sounds like a stage name, to me... is that her real name? There is a certain profession where women change their names... she wouldn't need to change her name, if she really is Ginger Luckey.
