Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz denied he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old after the New York Times reported that, according to three people briefed on the matter, the Justice Department was investigating a possible sexual relationship with the girl and whether he paid for her to travel with him. CNN speaks with Katie Benner, one of the New York Times reporters who first broke this story.

Matt Gaetz denies relationship with 17-year-old and claims extortion attempt
The best part was watching his interview with Tucker Carlson as he tried to drag him under the bus with him about three times lol
@Ed Lopow Sarcasm?
@Ed Lopow You just made being a Christian so much worse
“Over the past several weeks my family and I have been victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DOJ official seeking $25 million while threatening to smear my name,” Gaetz wrote in a tweet, claiming the sex trafficking investigation was a ploy to distract from the alleged extortion plot.
“I demand the DOJ immediately release the tapes, made at their direction, which implicate their former colleague in crimes against me based on false allegations,” he said.
@Leonie Romanes
The corporate beast system and all of lucifers kids prove Christ is real instantly
@Tim
U8a silicone snatch?
Always said this guy was a creep. I knew it was just a matter of time. I expect his argument to eventually be “you can’t help who you fall in love with.”
@Amy Royall They should have charged him with that, but they didn’t. They should have charged him for a whole boatload of stuff.
Andrew cuomo actually killed people and still sits in office and people are trying to make the argument the left is brutalized while republicans run free. C’mon man. This story has just broken. How about we give it a month to see what is what. Maybe he’s guilty, I don’t know, but neither do you.
@Trailin’ Annie Yeah, how about all that “lock her up” you Trumplicants were shouting, and they’re still spreading hatred Hillary’s way. You are all hypocrites.
@Trailin’ Annie oh, and you guys are just full of love and virtue when you call us demonrats, communists, and whatever vile name you can come up with. Hypocrite.
@Dan The last Democrat President didn’t have his minions commit sedition.
Even Tucker Carlson said his interview with Gaetz, was one of the weirdest. Gaetz tried to remind Carlson of a time they had dinner together and Carlson couldn’t remember. Pure gold.
Gaetz is insane.
@Ron Spatta how does it feel that you’re so broke that you complain about a extra $30 for gas a month. Do something better with your life. Gas going up and down doesn’t affect me one bit. Find some real issues to bring up. How about saving American lives and vaccinating the whole country? Isn’t protecting American lives the most important ? Or are you too dumb and you forgot that ?
@Ron Spatta he’s saving lives.
@M Hall stfu
@R G What the hell are you talking about? Who said anything about flirting being illegal? I also never compared that to Gaetz alleged behaviour. I think you have completely misunderstood my comments, or you have mixed up my comments with someone else’s comment.
If the Florida tax collector, the guy who the FBI says ran an under
aged prostitution ring, was the same guy who introduced the 17 year old
girl to Gaetz, that is big trouble.
😁
@Pamela Postel someone will eventually flip. These are all soft people. They aren’t the kind of people who would fare well in prison. No lattes in the hoosegow.
@Facts First bro ur corny
@Facts First if CNN is fake news, why are you wasting your time commenting? CNN had some news and isn’t perfect, but Faux-News is literally opinion… They pedalize to ‘Walmart Republicans’ like you… who based on economic circumstance should be a Democrat. But because of certain prejudices identifies with the GOP. These prejudices include, racism,bigotry,homophobia,religious zealotry and sexism… just like London B. Johnson said… “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man… he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket… Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” You’re fu¢k!n ¢lown🤡
@Facts First Are you here trolling because you got tired of the echo chamber on the Fox channel? Oh wait, their comments are disabled on this story aren’t they? Yeah they’re real free speech warriors and anti-censorship. Whenever I see the comments littered with trolls on left media I don’t even have to check, same story on Fox….comments disabled lol.
“I wasn’t having an affair with that teenage girl, that guy was trying to extort me for millions! What if I didn’t pay? He was going to show rolls of photographs of me getting jiggy with a teenage girl with hotel receipts, airline records, and a slew of signed credible witnesses. I’m innocent!”

Creepy how fake news libtards dont need facts and just insert their own narrative. This is why fake media chose you people to rule over.
You are easily manipulated.
@bellefish20 stop with the cue garbage
gaetz defense team : ” No reasonable person would conclude that the girl was 17 .”
@R. McBride A woman of any age condescending to date Gaetz is gag inducing.
@Kat loves dogs Is it because his use of crude oil for his hair?
He had her at dinner, as his guest, with tucker Carlson. What is weird to me is are they saying she is 17 now or 17 back then. If she is 17 now in 2021. This dinner as Gaetz himself said this happened 2 years ago. So …
Judge…she’ll be 18 in about another year. No harm… no foul.
@Mario Mario if you pay attention to the clip you will find out.
He called a 17 year old a ‘woman’. He is guilty as hell.
Probably also a big Winger fan.
So this has been floating around in the doj since March of last year?
But only now gets leaked to the nyt before a full investigation into the blackmail side of it was fully investigated? ..
I know libtards never think for themselves, so I’m just gonna throw that one out there…
But Matt liked trump… And every libtard conspiracy wraps around “orange man bad”.
Well at least the American people who VOTED for him know Matt Gaetz isn’t gay…he loves women.Oh by the way the news is fake news
So true 🤣🤣🤣
Mister Tee Are you referring to when he was talking about his friend who went to dinner with him? That woman? Why are YOU implying that she is 17yrs old? Is it because you have already made your mind up whether he’s actually guilty- just from this…CNN…a C-N-N sh*t chat session, right. Hmmm…wonder if FaceBook is CENSORING this NYT article like they did Hunter’s for “misinformation”. Yeah right.
@benjaminwayneb No. He called his woman friend who went to dinner with him a WOMAN. Why you assuming that she was 17yrs old? Hey, YOU should watch the entire interview for YOURSELF, instead of just trusting CNN to be telling you the real story. I mean seriously…you DO know that CNN is NOT a REAL news channel, right? None of them are, in fact. You have to seek the real truth of anything they “report” on to actually get the REAL story.
I wouldn’t trust Gaetz on anything. I think he is a snake and needs fully investigated.
Matt Gaetz is that guy that will ABSOLUTELY drag everyone he knows down with him.
@Calvin Parish
Think about the complete lack of evidence that suppports anything you just said and then think about the ridiculous bullshit YOU choose to “believe” and who fed it to YOU. 🤔
He tried to drag Tucker it was hilarious
@Calvin Parish I guess the courts and justice system will tell us the truth.
An indictment will swipe that stupid smirk off his face. Remember, Bill Barr was the one who started this investigation!
So he has had an underage “domestic”, “friend’s brother”, “adopted son” — a teen boy — at home and an underage teen girl on the road? How would this unmarried sleazy guy arrested at least once be allowed to “adopt” a teen? Where is CNN’S investigation of this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ3-eLWbQ_g
Quite the family man….isn’t he?
My mouth just dropped🎤🎤🎤🎤DROP!!!!
Disgusting 🤢 I just read about him having the “adopted son”
https://youtu.be/qUAmAES-2o0
She’s just his new 🎄 helper for this year. Then he’ll help her get into college 🤗.
Now we know why Matt Gaetz was so worried about Dr. Seuss being “cancelled”. He reads those books to his dates.
Dr. Seuss is racist you know???
Only people who think bad think dr suess was bad.
@THE ANGRY QUAD yes it is. Absolutely. Statutory rape of a minor is a million times worse than generic sexual harassment. If your mindless tribalism brought you to the point wherein you need to deflect the attention from statutory rape of a child, please reconsider your life choices.
Not to mention that Tara Reade was proven not credible by multiple inquiries.
Zzzzzzzing.
Excellent! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏿🇬🇧
This story is pure gold. Pure Schadenfreude. What comes around goes around jagoff 🤣!
I’m worried about how Brittney Spears feels about this…
Got that right
To bad it’s not true .
https://youtu.be/qUAmAES-2o0
Interesting how Matt Gaetz all of a sudden is considering retiring shortly before this news broke out that he was with a Teen Girl.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ3-eLWbQ_g
More than likely is because now that it’s been exposed to the public and he knows he’s in hot water now; so if you were him and if you were being accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17 yr old minor wouldn’t you retire to save your own hide. And anyone who believes the bs about him saying he didn’t have sex with that girl is as crazy as his is for believing it.
Ole Tuck would not alibi him! Boy, that’s BAD!
https://youtu.be/qUAmAES-2o0
When he called her a “17 year old woman” I knew he was guilty lol
@bellefish20 stop linking to Cue stuff everywhere this is total BS
@bellefish20 Nope
His “God” told him, Remenber they are on alternative facts, alternative age, alternative fucks. Please you know thatttttttttt:)
I’m not American but I wonder what if the woman is 18 y.o? Does it still matter?
18 is legal right?
@Pipi Cute
yes, but frowned upon.
In this case if they can prove relations while the young lady was 17 it’s curtains!
Meanwhile somewhere in Wyoming, Liz Cheney is laughing her @$$ off 😂😂😂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ3-eLWbQ_g
As she should
I’ve been waiting so long for Gaetz’s Rodent like character to implode on him. Or whatever animal category a weasel fits in.
Yes, weasels are rodents
Cockroach…… being called a rodent is too generous.
“Dad, you know how you used your connections to get me out of that DUI & to get me elected to Congress? I need your help again!”
25,000,000 worth of help
Hunter and Joe..?
This is the only chance for you murica’s to remove this cancer for good! *DON’T FOOKED IT UP!!!*
@Ryan Z
What about them?
@Ryan Z Troll
I can’t wait for Trump to say “I don’t know him, but he seems like a good guy, but I never met him before” 😂😂😂
@ChocolateAddict what do you mean? What about the millions of dollars worth of dealings with Ukraine and China? How bout the gun he threw in the dumpster that the secret service was trying to cover up, as they asked the gun store owner for hunters paperwork on the gun he bought as a drug user. I mean I could keep going their family isn’t whom you think they are.
@Tony Gabagool hahahaha 😆😂
I literally saw this at Faux entertainment… Some of us we just watch “them” for the laughs. Is very funny to see how enraged they sound.
@Connie Gracia gotcha they’re just mad which I get cause there’s an old dementia patient running the free world, no leadership can’t even finish his own sentences😂😂 makes us so vulnerable you’ll see in the coming few years…
@Eric But isn’t that the top news story of today?
@Tony Gabagool Cuomo I can understand but in regards to Hunter Biden he was not running for president nor any political seat so that’s not relevant. You and I both know that both parties are disgustingly crooked. We can’t keep falling for this party line bullshit all we’re doing is continuing Hamilton and Jefferson’s argument they are nothing but bones and dust now but this problem has bled through the generations and hard wired us to fall for this crap every time George Washington new the party thing would cripple America and prevent progress from being made.
He calls her a 17-year-old “woman”. Pretty much says it all.
Yes, that’s an omission. He’s going to serve some time
So did the reporter @1:00
