Lawyer shares new details about Gaetz's alleged involvement in drug-fueled sex parties

New claims are being made about former congressman — and current attorney general nominee — Matt Gaetz's alleged involvement in sex crimes.

Politico reported a lawyer representing two women who testified against Gaetz said that he attended as many as 10 "sex parties" that were fueled by illicit drugs.

Published in Politico's Monday morning Playbook, lawyer Joel Sheppard said that his clients had already spoken to the House Ethics Committee that was conducting an investigation into Gaetz. That investigation ended when he resigned from his post after receiving the AG nomination last week.

The lawyer says his clients told the committee that they went to between five and 10 “sex parties” with Gaetz, who was in his first term in Congress at the time. One of the women said she'd witnessed Gaetz sexually assaulting her friend, who was underage at the time.

Gaetz has denied all allegations and has not been charged with a crime.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) previously told CNN that Gaetz had bragged to him about his encounters with young women.

Gaetz's resignation came ahead of a key vote by the House Ethics Committee, which was set to decide on whether to release the full report.

Gaetz friend, Florida tax collector Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty in 2021 to six charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, identity theft, stalking, wire fraud, and conspiracy to bribe a public official. He also agreed to cooperate with federal investigators as part of his plea agreement.

But the Justice Department told Gaetz he would not be charged as part of that investigation.
