He is also well known for his antics relating to offering house bills in Congress knowing these bills will never pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2018, Gaetz has been pushing hard to see nationwide Marijuana legislation passed. The man behind that push to get Gaetz to make Marijuana legalized, Jason Pirozzolo, is he himself accused of sex-trafficking. Pirozzolo was seen in a video with Congressman Gaetz connecting the both to the sex-trafficking scheme by investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal investigators are currently looking into whether Gaetz had paid for women to travel to the Bahamas for sex. The same investigators are also looking into whether Gaetz and Greenberg used the internet to search for women they could pay for sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ongoing investigations are rarely commented on by the DOJ, but ongoing investigations rarely deal with a very high-profile member of Congress such as Gaetz who is telling anyone who will listen that he is the true victim in this investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Paul Waldmiller Did you know that Congressman Matt Gaetz is under investigation from both the Department of Justice as well as the U.S House of Representatives for sex trafficking?&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":48250,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48249"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48249\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
