The pressure increased on Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla, this week as one of his longtime associates agreed, as part of a plea deal for his own charges, to provide substantial assistance as a witness for federal investigations.
On Monday, former Seminole County tax collector Jeff Greenberg pleaded guilty to six of the 33 federal charges against him: sex trafficking a minor, creating a fake ID, identity theft, stalking, wire fraud and conspiracy to bribe a public official.
The plea deal adds pressure to the scandal facing Gaetz. Gaetz is facing a Justice Department investigation over whether he had sex with a 17-year-old the same girl Greenberg admitted to trafficking and paid for sex with adult women.
