Matt Gaetz Friend Cooperating with House Ethics Probe: Greenberg Provides Documents in Sex Trafficking Case, US

Joel Greenberg, a former close associate of Rep. Matt Gaetz, is now cooperating with the House Ethics Committee as part of its investigation into the Florida congressman, according to sources familiar with the matter. Greenberg, who is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to federal sex trafficking charges, has been in contact with the committee for several weeks and has provided documents related to the case. The House investigation into Gaetz, which was reopened last summer, has recently intensified, with the committee reaching out to multiple new witnesses. Greenberg’s cooperation marks a significant development in the probe, as he served as a key witness in the Justice Department’s investigation into Gaetz, which ultimately did not result in charges being brought against the congressman. Gaetz has consistently denied any wrongdoing. In a statement, Greenberg’s attorney emphasized his client’s willingness to cooperate with the congressional inquiry, while Gaetz’s spokesperson criticized the media for amplifying allegations from individuals currently incarcerated. The ongoing investigation continues to draw attention as it delves deeper into the allegations against Gaetz.
