WASHINGTON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Republican Representative Matt Gaetz's former girlfriend testified before a federal grand jury on Wednesday amid an ongoing probe into whether the lawmaker trafficked a minor for sex, U.S. media outlets reported.

NBC News said the girlfriend, whose name was withheld, and her lawyer were seen entering a federal courthouse in Orlando, Florida, but that the lawyer, Tim Jansen, declined to comment.

CNN also reported that the woman, a former congressional staffer, entered the courthouse where people familiar with the case said the grand jury has been meeting.

Representatives for the Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment on the report.

1. I'm guessing they broke up on her 18th birthday.

His new girlfriend is currently getting for the junior prom.

2. I imagine she's going to opt to tell the truth.

They've gotten a lot from Gaetz's buddy, she better be careful with perjuring herself. And why would she protect this guy? She is an "ex" after-all.

3. Just think if he could marry all his ex-girlfriends ......

4. The reason they got her to testify -- besides getting the indictment -- is to get her testimony

under oath so she cannot change her story later. The pressure on her from RWNJs/Gaetz loyalists to recant or stay quiet or alter the details will increase massively after the indictments drop. Get her words locked in, under oath, before any of that becomes public -- even if they could have gotten the indictments without her.
