Rep. Matt Gaetz denies allegations of sexual misconduct in 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' exclusive
Fox News
Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz tells Fox News' Tucker Carlson that sex allegations made against him after a New York Times report that he is the subject of a federal sex trafficking investigation involving a then-17-year-old girl.
The Pensacola lawmaker pushed back strongly against the allegations, saying that he is the victim of "extortion" involving an ex-Justice Department official seeking a $25 million payoff. Gaetz told Carlson in an exclusive TV interview that the Times story was leaked in order to "quell" what the lawmaker claimed would be a planned $25 million payoff on Wednesday that would implicate this former official. "What was supposed to happen was the transfer of this money that would have implicated the former colleague of these current DOJ officials. But that's obviously not going to happen tomorrow because [of the leak]," Gaetz said.
