The Washington Post
reported on Friday that Rep. Matt Gaetz rescheduled Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' campaign events in 2018 so that they'd "end the night in a college town."
Gaetz was assisting DeSantis' gubernatorial campaign at the time, and sources told the outlet that Gaetz sought to hang out with younger crowds during the election.
A source also told The Post that Gaetz boasted about the "access" to women he got from associating with Joel Greenberg, a former Florida tax collector who was indicted last year on 14 felony counts, including carrying out the sex trafficking of a minor between the ages of 14 and 17. Greenberg has pleaded not guilty.
On Thursday, it was reported that Gaetz showed House colleagues photos and videos of nude women and bragged about his sex life.
Earlier Friday, Gaetz's spokesperson, Luke Ball,
resigned from his position, citing principle as the reason,
"I have never paid for sex. I have never had sex with an underage person as an adult," Gaetz told the Post. "I have dated women in college and graduate school, and have boasted about how great they are across the board, as boyfriends do. At times women I have dated have joined me at campaign events."
