Gaetz, 38, is under scrutiny over whether he violated federal sex trafficking laws, including if he had sex with a 17-year-old and other underage girls, paid them or offered gifts in exchange for sex. “First, I have never, ever paid for sex," he wrote. The FBI, the Biden administration's Justice Department and “the Cheney political dynasty" were among the entities Gaetz accused of unjustly targeting him. The Justice Department investigation began last year while Trump was still president. Without detailing them, he said he believes the charges against Gaetz are false.
