Rep. Matt Gaetz may soon face a document dump in federal court that could expose — for the first time — details about the alleged sex parties tied to the accusations that Gaetz had sex with an underage teen.
The trove of information — which is expected to include sworn testimony from a number of people involved in the alleged sex parties — is the ironic result of the congressman’s friend, Florida lobbyist Chris Dorworth, dropping a civil lawsuit that sought to bury the scandal.
A federal judge will now decide whether the accounts of several key witnesses should be made public by Sept. 19, including a “declaration” from Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend that one source familiar with the matter described as “candid,” as well as the never-before-seen deposition of the woman who claims she was sex-trafficked when she was 17.
