DOJ Investigating Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for trafficking, related to possible sexual relationship with a 17-yr-old girl. The investigation was opened under AG Bill Barr and briefed to senior Trump DOJ officials
18 is also minimum Federal legal age to transport a female across state lines for the purposes of sex
Story appears to be well-sourced. Doesn't mean Gaetz is guilty, but there is a real investigation.

Matt Gaetz confirms he is under Federal Investigation
"over whether he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and paid for her to travel with him." axios.com/matt-gaetz-sex…
Matt Gaetz accused David McGee of attempted extortion of him & his family, for millions of dollars.
McGee was Lead Attorney for a U.S. DOJ Organized Crime Task Force
Once beat famed lawyer F. Lee Bailey in court in 1996
Gaetz is making the accusation. Let's see the evidence
Is David McGee, 37 years as a highly decorated attorney, with lots of top-level experience, likely to attempt an amateurish blackmail scheme on a Congressman & his dad?
Anything is possible, but it seems unlikely, unless Matt Gaetz releases the alleged evidence he gave Axios
David McGee has just gone on the record denying the extortion accusations by Matt Gaetz
Gaetz is being investigated, as an offshoot of the child sex trafficking charges against his friend Joel Greenberg
