Matt Gaetz's iPhone Is Seized; Associate Talks In Sex Trafficking Probe: Reports
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/matt-gaetz-joel-greenberg-cooperating-phone-seized_n_607646b9e4b0e554e81877f1New reports on the federal sex trafficking investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) have revealed more details about the extent of the probe, including the seizure of his iPhone by federal agents over the winter and an associate’s cooperation against him since last year.
Gaetz’s cellphone was seized when federal agents executed a search warrant, Politico reported Tuesday, citing interviews with three people who were told of the matter by the congressman, who changed his phone number late last year. His former girlfriend’s phone was also reportedly seized.
In another development indicating Gaetz’s intensifying predicament, Gaetz’s associate Joel Greenberg has reportedly been providing information since last year to investigators, according to The New York Times.
Greenberg has told investigators that he and Gaetz had sexual encounters with women in exchange for cash and gifts, two people briefed on the matter told the Times.
