Newly published documents appear to back up Rep. Matt Gaetz's claim that he and his family were victims of an extortion scheme.
"My client, Don Gaetz, was approached by two individuals to make a sizable payment in what I would call a scheme to defraud," Jeffrey Neiman wrote.
Aides to Rep. Gaetz didn't respond to requests for comment.
Don Gaetz the next day met with another man allegedly involved in the scheme, former Air Force officer Bob Kent, according to the Examiner.
During the meeting, Don Gaetz was presented with a three-page document dubbed "Project Homecoming" that sought a $25 million loan for the purpose of rescuing Levinson.
The documents were published after a fraught several days for Rep. Gaetz, a rising star in the GOP. The situation started when the New York Times, citing anonymous sources, claimed he was under investigation for having a relationship with a 17-year-old girl.
Gaetz asked the Department of Justice and the FBI to release audio recordings he said were obtained through his father, who wore a wire as part of the investigation into the alleged extortion scheme.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
