When nothing else will stick to a political opponent, come up with a sex crime. In the case of Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, accuse him of human trafficking with an ex-girlfriend as the star witness.
And now, in a plot twist that should have eyebrows raised all over the country, the prosecutors have granted the ex immunity in the case.
Prosecutors granted immunity to an ex-girlfriend of Representative Matt Gaetz before she testified last week in front of a federal grand jury hearing evidence in the investigation of the congressman, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Gaetz has been under investigation to determine if he violated sex trafficking laws and obstructed justice in that probe. Gaetz has previously denied all wrongdoing and has said he has never paid for sex nor had sex with an underage girl.
The woman, who CBS News is not naming to protect her privacy, testified in front of a federal grand jury in Orlando last Wednesday. She is viewed as a potential key witness, according to two sources familiar with the investigation. One of the sources said she has information related to the investigation of both the sex trafficking and obstruction allegations.
No names or mention of what this woman is immune for, but she’s testifying in front of a grand jury according to a report from a legacy media outlet.
“This may be a willing participant who has a smart lawyer who sought an immunity deal from the government,” said former prosecutor and CBS News legal analyst Rikki Kleiman. “The government does not give immunity blindly, they know what they’re getting in exchange.”
Sure, but this also may be a scorned ex looking for payback.
A source told CBS News last week that as a part of an obstruction probe, investigators are looking into whether Gaetz had a phone call with the ex-girlfriend, and another woman, who was already a witness in the federal investigation.
Multiple sources told CBS News that the ex-girlfriend and the other woman traveled to the Bahamas with Gaetz in 2018, along with a third woman with whom Gaetz was in a sexual relationship. That third woman was 18 at the time of the Bahamas trip, but investigators are also looking into whether she was 17 when the sexual relationship began.
Again, no names were mentioned. At least Woodward and Bernstein told us who they heard was involved in Watergate.

Woodward and Bernstein told us what the FBI told them to say. Deep Throat was Deputy Director Mark Felt. #2 man there.
