Matt Gaetz Pressed on Whether He Is Concerned He Will Be Indicted

Rep. 👤Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is firing back at reporters after being asked about whether he is concerned he will be indicted.

A reporter asked Gaetz on Friday if he has spoken to his ex-girlfriend about the ongoing investigation into whether he obstructed justice during a phone call he had with a witness.

The witness was a woman introduced to Gaetz by former Seminole County, Florida, tax collector Joel Greenberg, as Politico reports.

The longtime associate of Gaetz pleaded guilty to six of nearly three dozen federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor last month, as IJR reported.

Greenberg admitted to paying at least one underage girl to have sex with him and others. He agreed to cooperate with prosecutors as part of the plea deal.

Gaetz told the reporter, “I would love to be able to share all the people in my life that I talk to and don’t talk to, but unfortunately the people in your profession have doxxed, harassed, threatened people that have been in my life.”

He continued, “So I don’t get into who I talk to and don’t talk to because I don’t want to put people in jeopardy.”

When asked if he is concerned he will be indicted, Gaetz replied, “No.”
