Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz's resignation effectively ends an ethics probe into allegations of sex trafficking against him launched by the Justice Department.
Rep. Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress on Wednesday after President-elect Donald Trump tapped him for attorney general. Now that he has resigned, an ethics probe into allegations of sex trafficking, sexual misconduct and drug use against Gaetz by the Justice Department has also ended.
Greenberg, a fellow Republican who served as the tax collector in Florida’s Seminole County, admitted as part of a plea deal with prosecutors in 2021 that he paid women and an underage girl to have sex with him and other men. The men were not identified in court documents when he pleaded guilty. Greenberg was sentenced in late 2022 to 11 years in prison.
