NEW: Investigators have been told of a conversation where Gaetz and a lobbyist Chris Dorworth discussed arranging a sham candidate in a State Senate race to siphon votes from an ally’s opponent, according to two people familiar, w/ @ktbenner @nytmike nytimes.com/2021/04/08/us/…
The F.B.I. has widened its investigation to include questions about a trip to the Bahamas that Gaetz took with Republican allies from Florida and women who were asked to provide sex for them, according to four people familiar with the inquiry nytimes.com/2021/04/08/us/…
The Bahamas trip included Jason Pirozzolo, an Orlando-based surgeon who has raised funds for Gov. Ron DeSantis, and a group of women, according to four people with knowledge of the inquiry. The trip occurred sometime after Mr. Gaetz was elected to Congress nytimes.com/2021/04/08/us/…
Good time to bring back story from March about a sham candidate arrested in a *different* Florida State Senate race. Yes, there were suspected sham candidates in *three* State Senate races last year 👀 nytimes.com/2021/03/19/us/…
