Feds are looking at potential obstruction in the ongoing probe of Rep. Matt Gaetz and his alleged sexual relationship with a minor, sources say.
Washington The Justice Department is investigating potential obstruction of justice connected to the ongoing probe of Rep. Matt Gaetz and his alleged sexual relationship with a minor.

One of the people said investigators have been told about Gaetz and an associate discussing a plan to talk with Gaetz's ex-girlfriend in October 2020 about the ongoing sex crimes investigation.
