Also, while we’re on the subject of hookers and booze, Matt Gaetz has an upcoming court date to testify in a defamation lawsuit brought by a friend:
Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz on Thursday was served a subpoena to sit for a deposition in a civil lawsuit that involves allegations he had sex with a 17-year old-girl, sources tell ABC News, as part of a suit brought by a friend of the congressman against the young woman and others.
Gaetz was issued the subpoena, which has not been previously reported, by attorneys representing the woman who is now in her 20s and was at the center of a years-long investigation by the Justice Department into allegations that the Florida congressman had sex with her when she was a minor, sources said.
The deposition could see Gaetz asked under oath about his alleged sexual activity with the woman when she was a minor.
…When news of the allegations against Gaetz first broke in March 2021, Gaetz denied them in an interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, where he also claimed the 17-year-old girl "doesn't exist."
…and yet she does, apparently.
With “friends” like these, who needs enemies?
I doubt if any judge will let this become interesting. Any good questions against Gaetz will be objected to and sustained.
