public corruption to work on the Matt Gaetz caseThe Justice Department (DOJ) has hired two new prosecutors to work on the team investigating Rep. Matt Gaetz, a prominent congressional ally of former president Donald Trump.
Gaetz, a Florida Republican, is under investigation by the DOJ over allegations that he provided money or goods to a 17-year-old girl in exchange for sex.
Two sources familiar with the matter told the New York Times that one of prosecutors hired by the DOJ to work on the Gaetz case specialises in child exploitation matters, while the other specializes in public corruption.
One of the prosecutors was named as Todd Gee, Deputy Chief of the Public Integrity Section at the DOJ.
The two have been deployed from Washington to work on the Florida-based probe, the reports said. ABC News subsequently confirmed the hires.

have been working for 3 months, they are feds. This looks really serious for Gaetz but my question is, will Garland choose to prosecute?
Gaetz is one of the top Trump ass kissers. I also saw that Gaetz buddy who has turned state's evidence has stated that he personally saw Gaetz have sex with the underage girl. If Garland chooses not to prosecute Gaetz he can be Trump's V.P. candidate in 2024.
