Matt Gaetz's ex-girlfriend to cooperate with federal officials in investigation

An ex-girlfriend of U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz will cooperate with federal authorities to aid in their sex trafficking investigation, CNN reported Saturday.

Citing several sources familiar with the matter, CNN reports that the woman, who is also a former Capitol Hill staffer, is considered a critical witness to the Gaetz investigation. Her ties with Gaetz extend back to 2017 — a key period of time for investigators.

The Congressman’s former girlfriend was one of the women who traveled with Gaetz to the Bahamas in 2018, a trip that has become central to the investigation, according to a CNN report. Authorities are investigating if these women were paid to travel for sex with Gaetz and others. The trip is also facing scrutiny for potential public corruption with connections to the medical marijuana sector.

Sources also told CNN that the individual can help provide details about hundreds of transactions officials have obtained records of, including those involving alleged payments for sex.
