Federal investigators established a "trail of payments" from former Rep. Matt Gaetz to women he is accused of paying for sex, The New York Times reported Wednesday. This comes amid a steady trickle of leaks about a House Ethics Committee report into Gaetz, who has been accused by two women of having engaged in sexual misconduct with a high school student, along with several other offenses such as accepting improper gifts and engaging in illicit drug use at sex parties. "The document, assembled by investigators during a three-year sex-trafficking investigation into Mr. Gaetz, is a chart that shows a web of thousands of dollars in Venmo payments between Mr. Gaetz and a group of his friends, associates and women who had drug-fueled sex parties between 2017 and 2020, according to testimony that participants are said to have given to federal and congressional investigators," reported Michael Schmidt. The document created by investigators, titled “VENMO TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN ALL INDIVIDUALS AS OF 09/14/20,” includes "thumbnail photos of Mr. Gaetz, dozens of women and several other men to show how payments flowed between them.
