A letter drafted by Matt Gaetz’s friend Joel Greenberg says that the two paid for sex with multiple women, including a girl who was 17 at the time.
“On more than one occasion, this individual was involved in sexual activities with several of the other girls, the congressman from Florida’s 1st Congressional District and myself,” Greenberg wrote in the letter in reference to the minor, according to The Daily Beast.
“From time to time, gas money or gifts, rent or partial tuition payments were made to several of these girls, including the individual who was not yet 18. I did see the acts occur firsthand and Venmo transactions, Cash App or other payments were made to these girls on behalf of the Congressman.”
The letter was drafted after Greenberg reportedly reached out to Roger Stone for help in obtaining pardons from Trump in his last days in office.
The Daily Beast reports that several messages between Greenberg and Stone were captured from the encrypted messaging app Signal.
Greenberg: “If I get you $250k in Bitcoin would that help or is this not a financial matter.”
Stone: “I understand all of this and have taken it into consideration….I will know more in the next 24 hours I cannot push too hard because of the nonsense surrounding pardons.”
Later, Stone: “I hope you are prepared to wire me $250,000 because I am feeling confident.”
Stone told The Daily Beast that Greenberg had tried to hire him to assist with a pardon, but he denied asking for or receiving payment. He did tell the outlet that he had Greenberg prepare “a document explaining his prosecution.”
Gaetz on Thursday evening only had an upcoming opportunity to flaunt on Twitter, and a desperate cry to a perceived ally who had previously called an interview with Gaetz “weird.”
