House Ethics Witness: I Got Paid for Sex with Gaetz at 'Drug-Fueled Parties'

The Daily Beast can now report that this woman told prosecutors in 2021 that she had sex with Gaetz at a drug-fueled party that she was paid to attend, according to the woman’s attorney.

This attorney told The Daily Beast on Thursday that the woman, in fact, received payments in connection with multiple sex parties with people in Gaetz’s circle. Her lawyer said that, in response to a subpoena, she testified about her experiences to the U.S. Attorneys investigating Gaetz. And she turned over text messages, photos, and other evidence to the Justice Department as part of its child sex trafficking inquiry into the Florida congressman, the lawyer said.

The Daily Beast has obtained some of those messages and photos, which match the documents described by ABC News.

This could explain why Gaetz was so determined to take out Kevin McCarthy -- because McCarthy let the Ethics probe go forward. We'll see what Gaetz has to say about this -- and what the DoJ will do with the referral, if anything.
