Devin Murphy, the legislative director for Rep. Matt Gaetz, has resigned his post, making him the second staffer to leave the Florida congressman's office as the pressure continues to mount surrounding a federal investigation into sex trafficking allegations.
A source directly connected to Murphy said he left the job, not specifically because of Gaetz's legal troubles, but because the "media circus" surrounding the Republican made it difficult to accomplish "meaningful congressional work."
Gaetz's office did not respond to numerous inquiries about Murphy's employment status.
The New York Times first reported that Murphy had left Gaetz's office.

And what would that meaningful congressional "work" be?
As far as I know Mattie wasn't interested in "work" only playing like he did.
Everything else smoke and mirrors.

(21,998 posts)I don't think Gaetz has sponsored any bills during his time in Congress. What in the world would Murphy have been doing?
