Feds established a trail of payments from #MattGaetz, #Trump’s choice to be AG, to women including some who testified that #Gaetz hired them for sex, acc/to a doc obtained by NYT & a lawyer representing some of the women.
The doc, assembled by investigators during a 3-yr #SexTrafficking investigation into Gaetz, is a chart that shows a web of thousands of dollars in Venmo payments between Gaetz…, associates & women who had drug-fueled sex parties 2017–2020….

The document bolsters recent claims by a lawyer for 2 of the women who say they had sex with #MattGaetz for money. It shows thousands of dollars in payments #Gaetz made to both of the lawyer’s clients.

I’m super pro sex workers. I know some professionals that could absolutely rule a senate hearing, but forcing a victim into public, literally ruining her entire life going forward so that you can make cheap political points to cause lib tears is beyond monsterous and right into deliberate sadism.
