Providing Investigators With 'Thousands of Photos and Videos' Probably Doesn't Bode Well for Gaetz
Joel Greenberg Providing Investigators With Thousands of Photos and Videos Probably Doesnt Bode Well for Matt Gaetz
(Rolling Stone) Matt Gaetzs career in Congress, and life as a free man in America, has been in danger since it was revealed in March that the notably coiffed MAGA icon is under federal investigation for sex trafficking a minor. This danger became a little more acute a few months later when Joel Greenberg, Gaetzs former running buddy who pleaded guilty to sex trafficking the same minor, agreed to cooperate with federal investigators. ABC News reported on Thursday that Greenbergs cooperation has been quite extensive.
The information Greenberg has provided to investigators reportedly includes years of Venmo and Cash App transactions and thousands of photos and videos, as well as access to personal social media accounts. Much of this potential evidence pertains to Greenbergs relationship with Gaetz, and could aid investigators looking into the Florida congressman.
In pleading guilty to 6 of the 33 federal charges against him, including sex trafficking a 17-year-old, Greenberg noted that he introduced the minor to other adult men, who engaged in commercial sex acts. Greenberg did not specify whether one of those adult men was Gaetz, although reporting has indicated this could be the case. In April, The Daily Beast obtained a letter in which Greenberg claimed he and Gaetz both paid to have sex with a minor. The Daily Beast also obtained a slew of Venmo transactions between Greenberg and Gaetz and between Greenberg and the 17-year-old in question.
Gaetz has repeatedly denied he had sexual contact with anyone under age, but the fact that Greenberg, who has claimed to the contrary, is funneling this much potential evidence to investigators probably doesnt bode well for the congressman. ............(more)
