Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz is unlikely to face charges in a federal sex trafficking case, The Washington Post reported Friday. Career prosecutors at the Department of Justice reportedly believe that Gaetz would not be convicted at trial due to witness credibility problems. Although senior department officials could overrule those prosecutors, it is unlikely that they do so, according to The Washington Post. “Those who told lies about Congressman Matt Gaetz are going to prison, and Congressman Matt Gaetz is going back to Congress to continue fighting for America,” a spokesman for Gaetz’s office told the Daily Caller. Greenberg reportedly alleged that Gaetz paid him through Venmo for sexual liaisons with young women.
