The Department of Justice officially declined to charge Florida Rep Matt Gaetz in a sex trafficking investigation after leaked texts revealed the Israeli government appeared to be implicated in a $25 million extortion plot targeting Gaetz’s wealthy father. Joel Greenberg, a potential Jeffrey Epstein-esque figure who had worked as a tax collector for Seminole County, Florida, appears to have tried to entrap Gaetz into having sex with a 17-year-old girl for blackmail purposes. Unfortunately for Greenberg, the evidence the DOJ compiled indicated she had actually turned 18 when she was alleged to have taken a trip with Gaetz to the Bahamas in 2018. Scott Adams texted with Jake Novak, an Israeli Consulate official, who told Adams that Congressman Matt Gaetz was the “subject of a secret Grand Jury probe of sex with minors” days before it was reported. Novak wrote: “The real documents do not extort. And we only asked for $25 million as an estimate at first. We came way down.” Gaetz went public saying that his family was being extorted.
