Even by Florida standards, the Matt Gaetz saga is downright bizarre - and getting weirder by the day.
Instead, Gaetz wove a twisty tale that cast himself and his father, Don, a wealthy former Florida politician, as the heroic victims of a massive blackmail plot.
That ex-official, the villain of his purported extortion plot, is attorney David McGee, a former Florida federal prosecutor, Gaetz alleged.
McGee leaked the DOJ sex-traffic investigation to the Times when the extortion plot fell through, Gaetz concluded in the shocking interview.
"Providing for flights and hotel rooms for people that you're dating who are of legal age is not a crime," Gaetz told Carlson, a denial that may have done less in the way of clearing his name than he intended.
Gaetz has shown the Washington Examiner a string of text messages and other documents he says show the details of McGee and Kent's supposed extortion attempt - including the pair's reference to the FBI having photos of the congressman in a "Sexual orgy with underage prostitutes."
"The Office of Congressman Matt Gaetz and Luke Ball have agreed that it would be best to part ways," a joint statement read. "We thank him for his time in our office, and we wish him the best moving forward."
